Could beating a Belgian team boost Mulligan's Scotland hopes?

[SNS] You never know who's watching... That's very much Josh Mulligan's approach as the midfielder hopes to impress in Hibernian's Conference League play-off tie against KAA Gent. The 23-year-old has been subject to interest from Italy and England, but the Scot had eyes closer to home in mind, in the form of new Scotland head coach, Sebastien Pocognoli. While David Gray's Hibs hope to smash through the target they set on day one of pre-season - creating history by advancing through to European league phase football - the former Dundee player - who was called up to Steve Clarke's squad but has yet to make an appearance - is planning to catch Pocognoli's attention, particularly with Nations League matches fast approaching. When it was highlighted putting out a side from the national team's boss' home country couldn't do any arm, Mulligan replied with a smile: "I know. He might be watching the game, you just never know who's watching. "I don't know the new manager's thinking. I think everyone will be really looking to do well and try and get in that squad "It's just what you do on the pitch. You'll get your rewards for what you do on the pitch." What we do know, though, is Mulligan is not getting caught up in expected transfer speculation. "I don't get too far ahead of myself," he added. "I always try and stick to what's going on on the pitch, I just don't want to get in the way of anything, really."
