John Collins reckons Billy Gilmour is ready to join the ranks of global elite after comparing the Scotland wonderkid to midfield greats Xavi and Andres Iniesta. But former Celtic, Monaco and Scotland midfielder Collins believes there could be life still in the national team’s World Cup hopes after Gilmour’s introduction. Speaking to William Hill, he said: “I think in Billy Gilmour we have a great player there who is making us better. We can look to build around him and give him the role that those types of players have. Collins, though, is convinced the experience will fire up Scotland to go one further in 18 months’ time.
