Billy Gilmour sent off after just eight MINUTES for Scotland U21s in draw with Croatia as Chelsea midfielder returns to action for first time since July following knee injury

Billy Gilmour's return to action following a knee injury did not last long after being sent off for Scotland U21s just eight minutes after coming on to the pitch.

The 19-year-old had been out since early July after damaging the meniscus in his right knee but came on to replace Scot Gemmill with his side trailing Croatia U21s 2-1 in the 63rd minute of the match.

However, following a rather innocuous challenge, the Chelsea midfielder was given his marching orders in the U21 Euro qualifier - which ended 2-2 following a home comeback from 2-0 down - just eight minutes later.
