Scotland U17 boss McLaughlin talks up Liverpool, Man Utd target Wilson

Scotland U17 boss Brian McLaughlin has no doubts about Rangers prospect Rory Wilson.

Everton, Liverpool, Manchester United, Manchester City and Brighton have all been linked with the striker.

McLaughlin said: "Rory is another who can play again in the next campaign. We have been brave enough to go really young at this age group. So Rory is leading the line as a [player born in] 2006 against big powerful 2005s.

“But he is a clever player, his touch is good, his attitude is superb and his finishing… for a young boy to be able to finish the way he can finish, just clinical and calm in front of goals. He knows he is always going to get a chance because his movement gives him that.

“It was another top performance from him and even when we put him on the left to give another young boy a chance off the bench it wasn't a problem because he knows he can score off the left. I was delighted for him."
