Napoli midfielder Billy Gilmour has welcomed the impact of Kevin de Bruyne.

While De Bruyne's arrival has increased midfield competition, Gilmour insists the situation is lifting his game.

He said from Scotland HQ: "When Kevin De Bruyne signs, everyone knows how good a player he is. You see that every day in training and in the games.

"When a big player like that signs, it’s good. All the boys that have come in with the new signings have done well, but, for me, it’s competing with these guys to try and get games and enjoy it."

Asked if Scott McTominay can shake off his early season struggles, Gilmour added: "Of course. From last season, he’s MVP of the league and scored so many goals, winning goals for us in games.

"You see when it comes to Scott just how much the fans love him. He’s had a bit of a difficult time, but I’m sure he will turn it around."
