Scotland would be forward-thinking if they capped Simon

DUNDEE boss Tony Docherty was disappointed his top scorer Simon Murray wasn’t included in the Scotland squad.
The Dens Park manager believed his 16-goal haul would have made him worthy of a place in Steve Clarke's squad for the Nations League play-off with Greece.
Clarke instead decided to recall Aberdeen striker Kevin Nisbet and call-up Hearts’ teenager James Wilson for the first time.
Docherty said: “He's been brilliant and I was a bit disappointed in terms of a Scotland call-up.
“In terms of the amount of goals he’s contributed this season and last season, plus we're short of strikers.
“Simon, over the last two years, has been producing brilliant numbers.”
Docherty felt international recognition should remain a goal for the 32-year-old.
He added: “I think they should all set themselves targets like that.
“I'm really, really encouraged this week that we've got call-ups.
