Lewis Ferguson hailed the return of Scotland team-mate Billy Gilmour and said he hopes their midfield partnership can flourish for years to come. Injuries have prevented the pair having much of a run together in the national team, with Ferguson missing Euro 2024 before Gilmour also suffered a devastating blow when he was ruled out of the World Cup in the summer. Gilmour missed the World Cup in the United States after sustaining a knee injury during Scotland's warm-up match against Curacao at Hampden in May.
