Chelsea midfielder Gilmour appreciates support of Liverpool fullback Robertson

Chelsea midfielder Billy Gilmour has revealed how Liverpool left-back Andy Robertson told him he hopes it isn't too long before the two are team-mates in the national team.

Gilmour is being pushed for a first Scotland cap when international football resumes.

He stated: "Everyone knows my feelings about representing my country. Hopefully I'm not far off it. I just need to keep working hard and see where it takes me.

"After the Liverpool game, I swapped shirts with Andy Robertson. He came up to me after the game and said 'well done, you played really well, keep doing it and hopefully see you soon in the first-team squad'.

"That was great to hear that from the captain of the country. I then asked him if we could swap shirts and he said 'no problem, let's do it inside' so that was me buzzing."
