Aston Villa striker Rory Wilson admits his Scotland Under-21s call-up came as a "shock".

The 16-year-old left Rangers for Villa in the summer and has scored four goals in as many appearances for the Under-18s.

"It was just a bit of a shock when the call up came to be honest – I didn't expect it," Wilson told the Scottish FA. "I told my dad and my mum and they were delighted.

"It was a proud moment for me and my family. I was out in Spain with the U18s when I heard and I couldn't believe it. I was buzzing and so was Brian McLaughlin, my U18s head coach.

"All the boys have been brilliant with me so it's been quite easy to settle in. I don't know a lot of the boys apart from Ben Doak so it's been good to see new faces and make some new friends.

"The more experienced guys have been great, you're learning wee things off them every day. It's been a big jump in the training but it's been a good standard and it's brilliant to train at that level every day."
