George Hirst says being named in Scotland’s World Cup squad brings him “massive relief.” The Ipswich striker met with his Scotland team-mates on Tuesday after the squad selection, marking the start of preparations for the tournament. While the outlets provide limited additional detail beyond the selection and his reaction, both accounts emphasize the same core point: Hirst has received confirmation of his place in the squad and feels relieved as he joins the group. The reporting frames the moment as a key personal milestone for the player as he transitions from club football into the World Cup setup alongside Scotland’s established squad. The focus remains on Hirst’s reaction and the fact he is now training with and joining his international teammates ahead of the competition. No conflicting information appears across the two sources provided, and neither article includes further specifics such as squad size, coaching comments, or injury updates.
