Robbie Ure made his international debut for Scotland in a 0-0 Nations League draw against Slovenia. The 22-year-old Sevilla striker started up front alongside Oli McBurnie in manager Sebastien Pocognoli's first match in charge. During the match, Ure nearly scored his first international goal when a first-half shot struck the post before he was later substituted for Kieron Bowie.

Ure credited a pre-match pep talk from Pocognoli for providing him with trust and belief on the pitch. The former Rangers forward also highlighted his recent club experience facing Barcelona defenders Pau Cubarsi and Eric Garcia in La Liga as key preparation for performing at the international level.
