What we learned from James Wilson's hat-trick performance for Scotland Under-21s The teenage striker has found his game time at club level limited but he kept his confidence high with a hat-trick for Scotland 21s

James Wilson's game time at Hearts has been limited recently - but he had a very productive evening for Scotland Under-21s.

@craigcairns.bsky.social was at Dens Park as the striker scored a hat-trick.

As well as his goals, there was plenty to like about his performance ‡️

Liam McFarlane's positive season continues, training with the Scotland national team over the past two days.

Part of the 21s squad for the upcoming double header but got a good experience with the senior team.

Highly thought of by club and country.

Real Madrid are no longer unbeaten in La Liga this season.

They went into today's derbi with Atletico Madrid with a 100 per cent record β€” but it has been left in tatters, after their rivals put five past them.

No wonder Diego Simeone looks so gleeful.
