HIRST: I'LL GET DAD
Scottish Daily Express
|March 25, 2025
GEORGE HIRST already has his former England hero dad sorted out with a Scotland shirt.
The next step is getting the old man up to speed with Flower of Scotland as he is hoping to be belting it out before games a lot more in the future.
Ipswich Town striker Hirst got his first taste of the international squad with sub appearances in both of the Nations League play-off games against Greece.
It all went a bit belly up for Steve Clarke’s men at Hampden on Sunday on the back of a fine first leg win in Piraeus.
But, while the Tartan Army were left in a grump at the home defeat, getting a taste of Hampden was special for Hirst.
He has a real hunger to get back. And he’s already got his former Sheffield Wednesday star and Three Lions cap dad David singing from the same song sheet.
The 26-year-old Scotland new boy said: “He wears whatever shirt I wear, whether he admits it or not!
“When I had this opportunity and spoke to Steve Clarke, my dad was the first person I rang, and he had no qualms. He was dead set on me going for it.
