Junior Hoilett was so impressed with Ryan Gauld as a Vancouver team mate he tried to tap him up for Canada duty. But his efforts were in vain and Gauld only ever had eyes on getting back in the Scotland squad.

The 28-year-old won a Scotland recall after a decade in the last international window and won his first two caps as a second half substitute in the Nations League defeats to Poland and Portugal.

However, with Gauld in the international wilderness a year ago and qualifying for the Maple Leafs through residency rules Hoilett tested the water over a switch of allegiance.

But the former Dundee United and Sporting Lisbon ace was having none of it. Hibs winger Hoilett said: "I was trying to tap him up, but he wasn't budging.
