Jason Cummings’ delight at Scotland call up

Hibs’ striker Jason Cummings is delighted to be handed a call-up into Danny Lennon’s Scotland under-21 squad for the forthcoming friendly match against Hungary in Budapest on Thursday 26 March.

The 19-year-old has scored 15 goals overall so far this season and is currently top of the Scottish Championship’s goal chart with 13.

Speaking  to hibernianfc.co.uk, Cummings said: “When I found out I’d been selected for the under-21s I was both surprised and delighted – it’s a real honour and privilege to be picked for Scotland.

“I’m really excited about being involved with the squad and hopefully I can play well and score goals for the under-21s.

“I believe I’ve learned a massive amount so far this season working with the coaching staff here at Hibs, but I know there is still a lot of room for improvement.

“I want to continue to learn and mature into becoming a better all-round player – hopefully this call-up to the under-21s will help me to experience something different and help to make me improve.”
