Celtic ace Bernardo eyes Portugal progression after making history
The Hoops midfielder is now the joint most-capped player for Portugal Under 21s in their history after he helped his nation pulverise Poland 5-0 at the Euros.
Bernardo, 23, will break the record if he plays against Georgia this week as expected and wins his 31st cap.
And he's determined to join Cristiano Ronaldo and co in Roberto Martinez's Portugal squad, after they just clinched the Nations League trophy.
He said: "My ambition now is to win this tournament and then play for the full Portugal team.

"I wasn't aware of being the most capped player for the Under 21s until during the Finals when someone told me.
"At my first European Under 21s Championships, I was the youngest in the squad and at these Finals, I am the oldest.
"It's been great to play for the Under 21s. It's always a source of pride to represent my national team, it means I'm doing my job well.
"I was given the captain's armband in our first game against France and that was a very proud moment for me too.
"But the important thing is we go as far as we can in Slovakia."

Scotland ace reveals why 'raw' Euros exit must act as watershed moment under 'hungry ' new boss
Scotland's Jenna Clark believes the appointment of Melissa Andreatta can provide a springboard to finally return to a major tournament.

Scotland defender Jenna Clark admits the 'raw' pain of missing out on the Women's European Championship this summer leaves her in two minds about whether she will be able to even watch the tournament this summer. The third successive tournament that Scotland have been forced to watch from home, their 2-0 defeat to Finland in the Euro 2025 playoffs saw Pedro Martinez Losa's reign as the national team boss come to a crashing end. The Spanish head coach dismissed less than a week after the painful defeat in Helsinki, his replacement Melissa Andreatta arrived in late April. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad While Martinez Losa will have other things on his mind this summer as he begins his stint in charge at the Liga MX Femenil side Tigres, for Liverpool centre-back Clark, the pain of missing out on this summer's tournament in Switzerland still rankles. 'As much as I was in and around the squad during the World Cup disappointment, I felt a lot more hurt by the Euros campaign,' Clark exclusively told The Scotsman. 'I'm don't know how I'm going to feel when it's on [Euro 2025]. We've [Liverpool] got a couple of players in the team who are going, and you're buzzing for them, but there's a part of me that's going 'it could have been us'. We've got good players, we are more than capable of qualifying for a major tournament. Liverpool and Scotland defender Jenna Clark is desperate to make a major tournament with the national team. | SNS Group 'Is it overdue? Or is it underperformance, or not the right balance - I'm not too sure. The Euros being on this summer makes it raw. I'd experienced the full campaign and everything that went into it. I was just really hurt after the game - it was a really emotional time. I never want to feel like that again. The next tournament is two years away, but the determination to get there is sitting in place already. That disappointment will be a massive motivation for the next campaign.' After an apathetic three-year stint under Martinez Losa, head coach Andreatta has been able to inject an early dose of positivity with a battling 1-1 draw against the Netherlands in the Nations League earlier this month. Arguably the better side in Tilburg, supporters were encouraged by what they witnessed from their side, with the 46-year-old making a strong first impression in her debut camp as the new Scotland head coach.

'Mel has talked about really bringing back that 'Scottishness' to our game, and showing our identity. For us our biggest focus needs to be competing against nations we are 'on par' with. Can we go and dominate those games? I want to experience the highs that I have had at club level with this [Scotland] squad, the staff, the players. Everything. I want that. I want it soon. That's the goal. I want to qualify for as many major tournaments as possible.

Inside Benjamin Nygren's 'reset' before Celtic transfer as man who uncovered him reveals 3 reasons he'll thrive
The Sweden international has joined the Hoops after four seasons in Denmark and has been tipped to reach another level in Glasgow Gareth Henderby was part of the FC Nordsjaelland transfer committee who identified Benjamin Nygren as a low risk signing with high potential to make it big. Three years on, and with the player having sealed a move to Celtic, the Scot and his former colleagues at Right to Dream Park have been proved absolutely right. As Academy Director at the Danish club which puts an emphasis on youth, Henderby was a key part of their transfer think-tank and had known of Nygren's talents since the forward broke through at IFK Gothenburg. A big money move to Genk came too early and a loan switch to Herenveen never quite worked out. But Nordsjaelland's nous for untapped potential came to the fore as they swept in to take Nygren, still only 20 at the time, back to Scandinavia in January 2022. It didn't click straight away for the forward due to injuries and fluctuating form. But having moved from his central role into a wide right attacking berth Nygren found his groove and last season was one of the Superliga's hottest talents. Fifteen goals across all competitions at club level and two more for his country after breaking onto the international stage saw his stock soar with interest across Europe. Now he's set for Celtic. And Henderby - who hails from the Borders and now acts as Director of International Football for US-based multi-club organisation BlueCrow Sports - reckons the Hoops have got a star. He said: 'Benjamin was a big talent in Sweden at IFK Gothenburg. He got a big transfer to Genk quite early on in his life. 'A lot of players make that move probably too early. Which he probably did. But we knew he had potential because we knew him from a young age, we'd looked at him from an academy point of view when he was 16. We felt there was unfinished or undeveloped talent still within him. 'I was part of the transfer committee at that time and our scouts were keen on bringing him back to Scandinavia. A big part of our operation was finding Scandinavian talent. 'Coming back to Nordsjaelland was a kind of reset for Benjamin. He could then get his head down and work away. 'It wasn't too big a risk and I guess that's what you get a lot of the time with Scandinavian players. 'They're not a high risk if you know there's potential quality there. In a club like Nordsjaelland where it's quite peaceful and not too traumatic, you can actually take a bit of time with the players and get them back to the level we think they should be at. 'I remember meeting him in the first few days, you could see clearly a very well switched on guy. Good education, background. 'He was generally a number nine then. I know he's adapted into quite a versatile forward player. He likes to play right and come inside on his left. He's had a good season. But it was kind of a stop-start the first two years. Getting into his number nine position was difficult. He picked up a few injuries. 'Then he started playing a few other positions. And just this past season everything really clicked for him. He got a real run of games and became an important player. 'His personality and character came through. He became a leader in the dressing room. In many games he was captain as well. 'I'm really happy he had this season with Nordsjaelland where he could show what he was really about. Where the potential was coming out.' That potential translated into a flood of goals and assists from his wide right position as Nordsjaelland finished sixth. That attracted admiring glances from Superlig rivals FC Copenhagen while Belgian giants Anderlecht were also interested. But Nygren has opted for a fresh start in Glasgow and a first crack at the Champions League with Celtic. And Henderby reckons he will fit the Hoops' style perfectly. He said: 'He's become versatile. I didn't see that from the start because I thought he was a straight out number nine. 'After a year of being with us and not getting a lot of playing time, I spoke to a club back in Sweden, BK Hacken. I asked what they thought about Benjamin. And they said, 'no, we don't think he's going to score enough goals'. 'Well this year he has done that. So there was an uncertainty even in his home country - but now he's a national team player. Scandinavian players are pretty well educated. Their understanding of the tactical game is high. 'And Benjamin has an eye for goal, definitely. Over a long season playing for a club like Celtic, where there's a lot of games, he will chip in with goals and assists. 'I feel he will adapt pretty well going in there. Obviously, there'll be a high competition for him. It's a solid signing for a Swedish international player, not costing too much money, who's had a great season. 'He's a good professional. He uses his brain to pick up the right positions. 'Most games Celtic play they're obviously playing against a low press, so he's going to have to use his head a lot to be smart and pick up pockets of space and play. He can do that. 'When Nordsjaelland play at home, they often play against a low press, so that wouldn't be any different for him.' Henderby, who moved on from the Farum-based club a year ago, reckons Celtic can be quids in further down the line if Nygren continues to develop under Brendan Rodgers at Parkhead. He said: 'That'll be the plan, I'm sure. I believe he could have just have gone down the road to Copenhagen, so he's actually been ambitious to say 'I'm going to try another club, in another country, and try and prove myself'. So, there's ambition in there for him. 'He's very humble and just wants to play football and do what he can do. It's a Scandinavian trait.'
