Scottish football's connection to Serie A is about to grow stronger with Josh Doig and Lewis Ferguson set to land deals with Italian clubs. After the success of Aaron Hickey at Bologna, Hotline callers believe it's a sign of good health in our game that our young players are now being tracked across the continent.
Paul Walker, Glasgow , said: "It's great to see young Scottish players now being sought after by teams on the continent. Doig's imminent move to Verona and Ferguson's Bologna switch is a positive sign for our game. Hickey has set the trend and he's shown our young players it's good to broaden their horizons."
Andy Innes, Perth , said: "It's been a long time since we've had so many young Scottish players being in-demand by foreign clubs and it's good to see. We don't sell ourselves as well as we should be doing when it comes to our best young talent and I've no doubt we have more youngsters capable of playing in the Italian top-flight and beyond."
