Former Scotland striker Kris Boyd reckons Oli McBurnie should be the man to lead the line for the national team in the upcoming Nations League quadruple-header.McBurnie made 16 outings in Dark Blue between 2018 and 2021 before being jettisoned by then head coach Steve Clarke after drawing a blank in front of goal.However, the 30-year-old scored 19 times in all competitions last term as Hull City battled back to the English Premier League via the play-offs and has been a regular in their side during an impressive start to life in the top-flight that currently has them sitting eighth.With Che Adams out injured, there is a real chance for a new centre-forward to stake a claim in newly arrived Scotland boss Sebastien Pocognoli’s opening fixtures – and Boyd believes McBurnie should be given the call in Saturday’s away trip to Slovenia.’James Wilson has done really well at Hearts, and Robbie Ure got a great move to Sevilla, so I’m looking forward to seeing those two,’ Boyd told Seven, powered by Ladbrokes.’Then you’ve got Oli McBurnie too – and if anyone has watched Hull over the last 12 months or so, then you can’t not be impressed by the job he’s done for that team. McBurnie is playing a key role for Hull in the Premier League after helping them to promotion Former Scotland striker Boyd has tipped McBurnie to make the No9 position his own Boyd also backed Stoke’s Graham to make an impression on new boss Pocognoli’He looks mature now, and is probably ready to come back into the Scotland set-up and lead that line.’Pocognoli has named a host of new faces in his squad and Boyd has particularly high hopes for centre-half Luke Graham following his summer transfer from Dundee to Stoke City.’It would be wrong for everybody to put pressure on certain individuals, because the jump up to international football can be challenging, but I’ve got to say the young lad at Stoke, Luke Graham, has got a big future in the game, for me,’ he said.’He’s strong, and so powerful from that left-hand side. I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s a regular starter for Scotland, if not in this international break, then maybe the next one.’Boyd has also laid out the high expectations that exist around the Scotland squad and challenged Pocognoli to live up to them.’Steve Clarke’s record wasn’t a bad one. I think, sometimes, it’s a case of being careful what you wish for,’ he said. ‘I think Sebastien Pocognoli is a brave and bold appointment from the SFA.’There’s a lot of young lads in there and it’s a lot of change. And while we all want Scotland to carry on the way they’ve been in terms of qualification for major tournaments, I think it’s going to be very difficult.’As far as what the new manager needs to do to get fans on side, it’s victories. We need to see this team winning games of football.’
