George Hirst has received encouragement from his father, former England international David Hirst, to switch his national allegiance to Scotland. Having previously represented England in youth levels, George views this move as a 'dream come true' and a chance to honor his heritage. He expressed excitement about contributing to the Scottish team, especially as they prepare for important matches in the Nations League play-offs against Greece. Hirst believes his grandfather, who has Scottish roots, would be proud of this decision.
His first words were 'go and do it. Your grandad would be very proud of you for going to play for Scotland'.
It's a bit of a dream come true. It is a chance to play international football and my grandad was sort of Scottish.
