Chelsea midfielder Billy Gilmour says he'll be fine for Scotland's Euros opener.

The midfielder, introduced at half-time but withdrawn after half an hour following a robust challenge from Luxembourg's Olivier Thil, improved his claim for a start in Scotland's Euro opener against the Czech Republic on Sunday as he added creativity to a stodgy win for the Scots against 10 men.

Manager Steve Clarke was confident there was little wrong with Gilmour, while the 19-year-old assured supporters he was "okay".

Posting on Twitter, Gilmour said: "Good to get some more minutes! Took a knock but feeling okay! On to the Euros".

While Clarke is hopeful that there won't be an issue, Scotland's medics will be "ultra-cautious" with the Chelsea academy graduate.
