Billy Gilmour told next big call 'massive' as ex-Rangers kid struggles for regular Brighton minutes

Billy Gilmour has been told the next big call he makes is MASSIVE.

The former Rangers teen is plying his trade with Brighton following a move from Chelsea. Graham Potter swooped to land the Scotland international - only to complete his own move to the Blues immediately after his transfer was complete.

Roberto de Zerbi took over the reigns and has had stunning success during his first season in charge at the Amex Stadium. Gilmour and Co are in the race for European football next season, sitting seventh in the English Premier League, while they've also got an FA Cup semi-final to look forward to as they dream of landing major silverware this campaign. It's been a tough season on the whole for Gilmour with game time limited due to the form of the Italian's first-choice midfield pairing of Alexis Mac Allister and Moises Caicedo. One lifted the World Cup with Argentina while the other was the subject of monster bids from Arsenal and Chelsea for his services in January, all batted away by the Seagulls.

That has meant just ten appearances this campaign in total with seven of those coming in the English Premier League for Gilmour. Pat Nevin says the midfielder doesn't have to panic just yet due to his age but he does NOT want to be waiting around for too long.

Speaking to BBC Scotland, the pundit said: "Everything looked right. It's been a real shame so far.

"But you have to deal with what you've got in football. If one thing isn't working, you have to move to something else.

"That's what Billy did by moving on from Chelsea. Sadly, he might have to do it again. The next big call he makes is massive."

He added: "It might happen at Brighton. You don't want to waste too many years, you don't get them back.

"What I'd say is don't panic. It's not time to worry. Remember he's only 21 - but don't wait too long."
