Ayrshire footballer Billy Gilmour has suffered a huge blow as he will miss Scotland's crunch Euro 2020 clash with Croatia.

The Ardrossan midfielder has tested positive for COVID-19 and must now sit out tomorrow night's match.

Former Kilmarnock schoolkid Gilmour turned in a man-of-the-match performance against England in Friday night's spirited goalless draw.

He earned rave reviews for his display at Wembley where he was watched from the stands by his family.

And the nation's eyes were firmly fixed on the Chelsea ace, 20, heading into the showdown with the Croats as Scotland bid to qualify for the tournament's knockout stages.

Gilmour will self-isolate for 10 days.
