"I'm here to change history", McBurnie says of returning to Scotland

forward Oli McBurnie has spoken about his return to Scotland, the new perspective he brings with him and the ambition of scoring his first goal for the national team.

McBurnie's recruitment comes at a time of renewal for Scottish football: a new era has begun, with Sebastien Pocognoli in charge of a revamped squad for the Nations League campaign.

The League of Nations, a competition organised by UEFA, has divided European teams into leagues according to their technical level, creating more balanced clashes and an additional path towards major tournaments.

Pocognoli's arrival, however, may require patience for the transformation of the selection to produce concrete results. The rebuilding of a national group is usually a gradual process, and campaigns such as the League of Nations often serve as an adjustment and consolidation stage of a new technical project.

For McBurnie, the return represents an opportunity to rewrite his trajectory with the Scotland shirt and, according to him, change the history that has been left behind. Strikers live on goals, and the anxiety of scoring the first goal for the selection is a burden known by many centre-forwards who wear the national jersey.

Their presence in the renewed group also carries important symbolism.[citation needed] Players who go through off-call periods and manage to return often become references of resilience within the dressing room, especially at a time of transition when the mix between veterans and youngsters needs examples of commitment.

Summary of the main points: - The Commission's proposal for a regulation.

• McBurnie is back in the Scotland squad and has declared that he wants to "change history";
• The draft takes place at the beginning of a new era, with Sebastien Pocognoli as coach;
• The immediate context is the League of Nations campaign, with a cast in renewal; and
• forward is still searching for his first goal for the national team, but he's not there yet.
• The reconstruction of the team should be seen as a gradual process, which requires patience from fans.

If McBurnie's comeback is accompanied by goals, his second chance could turn out to be exactly what he promises: a change in history.
