Scotland coach Steve Clarke heaped praise on Chelsea midfielder Billy Gilmour for their 0-0 draw with Euro 2020 opponents England at Wembley.

A mature and composed 0-0 draw against the Auld Enemy kept hopes of qualification for the last 16 alive, while repairing much of the damage done by Monday's 2-0 defeat to the Czech Republic.

On Gilmour, former Chelsea fullback and assistant manager Clarke stated: "I don't think there is any risk when you have somebody of Billy Gilmour's talent.

"When you put him on the pitch you expect him to do what he did. He held the ball for us and allowed us to play through the midfield.

"I didn't think it was a risk for the balance of the rest of the team. We were ready to support Billy in his role and I think we did that.

"There are a lot of good people around and that supported Billy. It was great to see him get through 70 odd minutes on his first start.

"I have said for the last year that Billy will be a big part of the future of Scotland. We will try to take care of him and make sure he is a big player in the future."
