Sir Kenny Dalglish insists the current Scotland team are trailblazers who can inspire a new generation of homegrown talent.
The Liverpool legend is also convinced the army of volunteers, parents and coaches at grassroots level are playing an integral part in ensuring a steady stream of gifted youngsters flow into our game. After starring as the guest of honour at an awards dinner at Hampden before Scotland beat Ukraine in midweek, the 102-times-capped former Scotland striker believes Stevie Clarke ’s squad has grown from strength to strength.
Dalglish said: “The greatest encouragement any kid can have is watching a Scotland side being successful. That encourages everybody to want to take part. The quality of the players that Stevie is getting to pick from is getting better and better.
