Kristi Montgomery, a midfielder for Blackburn Rovers, has been selected for the Scotland national team for its forthcoming Nations League fixtures. The 22-year-old, who came through the club's youth system, earns his initial senior international selection following appearances for the under-21 team.
Montgomery has been in the starting lineup for each of Blackburn's league matches this campaign, netting his inaugural goal for the team in a recent loss to Sheffield United. His steady displays for a Championship club have now led to a promotion to the senior national side.
"It's a great honor to be called up," stated the player.
Scotland's head coach, Sebastien Pocognoli, has chosen Montgomery following injuries to other players. The national team is scheduled to play against Slovenia, Switzerland, and North Macedonia during the upcoming international period.
For Blackburn, this selection offers a bright spot during an inconsistent spell. The team's recent form has been varied, with a draw in its most recent match prior to the break.
