Euro 2024: ‘Why I wanted McTominay’ – Moyes on Scotland’s ‘biggest threat’

Maybe it is the Red Bull model to have players with brilliant energy, but it is a great thing for anyone to have.

Szoboszlai arrived at Liverpool with that built in and he offers it to Hungary too. He is a good footballer but he has got an incredible engine – he is a physical player, but also a great runner who can cover lots of distance as well.

He adapted well to the Premier League and when West Ham played Liverpool last season, he was able to get forward and get in the box.

He is a powerful boy and it is going to be difficult for Scotland to pin him down.

Like I say, McTominay could be given that job, because we have to be careful not to be too open. Hungary’s performance against Germany showed how tough this game will be.

Nevertheless, we will have to go for it as well, which is why I still think we need to use him in a different way, higher up the pitch.

Callum McGregor, John McGinn and Billy Gilmour offer all sorts of other things but McTominay, with his height, is the one who can probably get on the end of a few balls into the Hungary area.

I’d love to see him arrive at the right spot at the right time to put one of them away.
