Barney Stewart has set his sights on Scotland selection after joining West Bromwich Albion, citing manager James Morrison’s 46-cap experience as key to his development. The 22-year-old striker scored 10 goals in 21 games for Falkirk last season before sealing a £1.5million move to the Championship side.
What motivated the transfer?
Stewart admitted Morrison’s Scotland background was a major factor. “He knows what Scotland want in a striker,” said the forward, who has scored three times in pre-season. “His understanding of the game and how he communicates with players really stood out.”
How is Stewart performing at West Brom?
The striker has impressed in pre-season, scoring against Peterborough United. “I want to carry this form into the competitive season,” he said. “Scoring builds confidence, and I’m eyeing goals every time I play.”
What’s next for Scotland?
Scotland currently sit 3rd in their World Cup group with 3 points from three games (1W-0D-2L). Their next fixture is against Slovenia on 26 September, where they’ll aim to bounce back after three consecutive losses.
