Billy Gilmour passes Thomas Tuchel test after 'magnificent' moment solves Chelsea midfield worry

Billy Gilmour took centre stage at Hampden Park as Poland held Scotland to a 1-1 draw. The 20-year-old performed admirably at the heart of Steve Clarke's side, passing another test in his quest to return to the west.
