Hibs’ highly-rated teenage full-back Josh Doig has been rewarded for his superb start to the season with an international call-up for the Scotland Under-19 squad.
Under-19s manager Billy Stark yesterday named his 20-man squad for two upcoming international friendlies against England.
The Scots take on England on Thursday, 8 and Sunday, 11 October at St George’s Park.
Doig has been a revelation at left-back, taking over from long-serving club legend Lewis Stevenson and the youngster has won many plaudits from within the game.
Last season he enjoyed a successful spell with Queen’s Park where he was favourably compared to Scotland captain Andrew Robertson who had also played for the club.
He has previously played for the Under-18 team in a 2-1 victory over Paraguay last September.
John graduated from Telford College in 2010 with an HNC in Practical Journalism and since then he worked for the North Edinburgh News, The Southern Reporter, the Irish News Review and The Edinburgh Reporter. In addition he has been published in the Edinburgh Evening News and the Hibernian FC Programme.
