dailyrecord.co.uk:

Scotland striker Tommy Conway says his Stirling-born grandad will be looking down on him as the team prepares to make their Euros 2024 debut against footballing giants Germany tonight (Friday).Although born in Taunton, the Bristol City forward qualified for the Scotland team through his paternal grandfather Daniel.Conway made sure to see the look on his parents’ faces as he prepared to make his Scotland debut and experienced the proudest moment of his career.The 21-year-old came off the bench during Scotland’s 2-2 Euro 2024 warm-up draw with Finland last Friday and was close to a stoppage-time winner when his header was palmed away.The striker was promoted from the Scotland Under-21 squad after Lyndon Dykes was ruled out with an ankle injury and has a real chance of featuring in Germany after being included in Steve Clarke’s 26-man squad.“Playing for my country is the pinnacle for me and making my family proud, let alone going to a Euros.

It’s the most proud I’ve ever been.“I honestly can’t put into words how much it means to me and I know my grandad will be looking down proud.

So yeah, a really proud moment and hopefully we can do them proud in Germany.“That’s what’s going through your head when you’re about to go on the pitch, you think about all the late nights that they took me to training when I was in Bristol.

An hour and a half there and an hour and a half back, three times a week. It’s moments like that when you look around and everything like that’s worth it.“Even my grandad, when he used to take me to training and things like that, so to pay them back, it means so much.”Conway is riding a wave of positivity after his call-up and believes he can contribute in Scotland’s Group A campaign against Germany,
