Oli McBurnie's Scotland return can be 'new experience', says Sebastien Pocognoli

Hull City forward Oli McBurnie was "excited" and "emotional" after being recalled to the Scotland squad following a five-year absence, according to new head coach Sebastien Pocognoli.

Pocognoli described the 30-year-old as being "older" and noted that his return to the national fold will be a "new experience" for the player.

Meanwhile, Brondby defender Luis Binks expressed his pride at being called up, describing it as a feeling "different to any other sort of feeling you get within football."

Elsewhere, Liverpool supporters welcomed former player Andy Robertson as the Scotland captain made a substitute appearance during the EFL Cup match against Tottenham Hotspur at Anfield. In other news, former Celtic captain Scott Brown has voiced his hope that recent signing Oliver Sorensen will provide more "physicality" to the midfield of the Scottish champions.

In the Scottish Premiership, Hearts head coach Wouter Vrancken lamented his side's "panic" during their 2-1 defeat to Falkirk, stating that they essentially "gave the goals away."
