SCOTLAND will try to make international football history tomorrow without the talents of young star Billy Gilmour.
The Chelsea midfielder has tested positive for coronavirus and must self-isolate for the next ten days.
He will miss his country's all-important final group match against Croatia, and would also sit out their next match if Scotland made history by reaching the knockout stages.
"The Scottish FA can confirm that a member of the Scotland National Team playing squad, Billy Gilmour, has tested positive for COVID-19," said a team statement.
"Having liaised with Public Health England since the positive test was recorded, Billy will now self-isolate for 10 days and therefore miss tomorrow’s UEFA EURO 2020 Group D match against Croatia at Hampden."
Gilmour was the star man on the pitch at Wembley on Friday when Scotland battled to a 0-0 draw against group favourites.
The 20-year-old was making his first starting appearance for his country in London.
