Analysis overview
A natural full-back who stays alert to the space behind him and handles wide duels with a steady, disciplined edge. He gives Scotland balance by supporting the flank, timing his advances carefully, and recovering quickly when play turns over. His game is direct and functional rather than flashy: win the channel, keep shape, and move the ball on cleanly.
