Assistant coach John Carver has said Ipswich Town George Hirst brings Scotland a “different dimension” to their forward line.

Hirst has been called up for the Nations League play-off with Greece after receiving clearance to represent his grandfather’s homeland.

The 26-year-old joins Che Adams, Tommy Conway, Kevin Nisbet and James Wilson as the forwards in Steve Clarke’s squad.

Hirst has scored four times for Ipswich Town this season, including their second in Saturday’s 4-2 home defeat against Nottingham Forest.

“We’ve been monitoring him for months. We lost Lyndon Dykes to injury and he’s a little bit similar to Lyndon,” said Carver.

“What a goal he scored at the weekend and what a way to leave your club football and come to international football.

“He’s an intelligent lad, he’s bright, he loves football and he’s fitted in straight away. He brings us a different dimension.

“I had a good chat with him on Sunday night and we spoke about a number of things but most importantly he’s a good player and he certainly brings something to the squad.”
