Sebastien Pocognoli is delighted to bring Scott McTominay into his Scotland squad, according to BBC News. The report describes the Napoli midfielder as an exciting addition to the team.
BBC News reported that Pocognoli also credited McTominay as one of the "fantastic leaders" who helped persuade him to become Scotland head coach. The summary does not say when the two men first spoke about the role or what part McTominay will play in the squad.
The headline of the BBC News article said Pocognoli intends to lean on Scotland's captain group of five. The summary available for this report does not name the other players in that group, and it does not say which matches or training camps the squad is preparing for.
This account relies on the BBC News headline and summary alone. Further details on the squad list, McTominay's expected role, and any comments from other players or officials were not part of the material used for this report, so those points remain unconfirmed here.
The article's byline field was blank in the source material, so no individual reporter is identified. BBC News is the only outlet cited for this story.
