Danny Armstrong makes claim about Scottish accent after debut for European club

Danny Armstrong made his debut for Dinamo Bucharest, then admitted the biggest challenge he will face in Romania is getting his teammates to understand his Scottish accent.

The former Killie winger completed his shock move to Dinamo at the weekend and immediately joined up with their training camp in Poland.

He was handed a debut in a friendly against Cypriot side Omonia Nicosia and came on as a sub in a 2-2 draw.

And the 27-year-old pinpointed what the main issue could be for him.

Armstrong said: "In Scotland, it's different because people understand me, they understand my accent, but here I have to slow down and speak a little more clearly.

"But I will get used to it and I am looking forward to learning more about my teammates and making friends along the way.

"I want to make Dinamo the most successful team possible, to contribute with assists and goals, that is my role in the team.

"I feel good, I'm excited. When you finish one season, you have to prepare for the next one, so I did a lot of individual training in Scotland, just to be ready for the new season now.

"You want to be on the pitch as soon as possible and get connected with the team. So I feel great, I feel ready. It's good to meet so many different people.

"I want the fans to be excited, to get up from their seats, that's what I'm looking forward to, and also to wear the Dinamo shirt for the first time. I can't wait."
