Curtis 'bursting with pride' after first Scotland call-up

Findlay Curtis says he was shocked to receive his first Scotland call-up and revealed the news had his mum in tears.

Curtis, 19, is on loan at Kilmarnock from Rangers and has been given his first chance to impress as head coach Steve Clarke prepares to lead Scotland at the World Cup finals in June.

Scotland host Japan at Hampden on Saturday 28 March before taking on Ivory Coast at Everton's Hill Dickinson Stadium on Tuesday 31 March.

"It's unbelievable, I didn't expect it at such a young age but it's a dream come true and I just can't wait to get going," Curtis told Kilmarnock's in-house media channel.

"I got a call yesterday from the gaffer here [McCann] and he said you're in the consideration set-up, and I'm thinking to myself 'It's mental'. Then he phoned me and said I'm in the full squad.

"I was bursting with pride and told my mum and dad. My mum started crying. It's huge."
