Samson Gets Scotland Nod


Former Bulls keeper Craig Samson has been called into the Scotland squad for Tuesday's game with Macedonia at Hampden Park.

Now 28, the St Mirren keeper has been earning rave reviews for his performances since returning to the Scottish leagues after a dismal spell with the Bulls in which he conceded an average of two goals every game.

St Mirren manager Danny Lennon believes the former Ayr keeper, who was ever-present last season, can carry on for another 10 years:

“He’s done ever so well for us and ‘Sammy’ is a very level-headed guy. Knowing him like I do, he’ll continue to want to play and prove himself year in, year out. Last season he had a fantastic campaign in the SPL. And now the aim and objective for him is to have another 10 seasons like that. I believe he can.”

Samson was previously a Scotland u21 international, with 5 caps, before joining the Bulls for the 2008/9 season.
