Pocognoli wants smiling Gilmour to lead Scotland

Pocognoli, who made his debut as manager with a goalless draw against Slovenia, believes the Napoli midfielder has to 'take risks' to be effective. Gilmour excelled during that match after missing the World Cup through injury.

The manager has also warned players that they need consistent game time at their clubs to maintain form for the national team. Scotland faces Switzerland in their next Nations League fixture at Hampden Park on Tuesday evening. tbzikra.com
