Pocognoli Wants Happy Gilmour for Scotland

New Scotland manager Sébastien Pocognoli wants midfielder Billy Gilmour to play with a smile as he aims to improve the team's fortunes after a disappointing World Cup campaign. Gilmour excelled in Scotland's recent 0-0 draw against Slovenia, Pocognoli's debut as manager.

The Napoli midfielder missed the World Cup through injury but is now central to Pocognoli's plans. 'If you have a player who plays one touch without even looking where he puts the ball it means that he understands the game plan,' the manager said ahead of Scotland's match against Switzerland at Hampden Park. ipl-today.in
