Walter Smith has once again hinted that youngster Danny Wilson is in his thoughts to start tomorrow evening against Unirea.

Smith was speaking as the players jetted out for Romania and with the squad boosted by the return to fitness of Lee McCulloch.

Wilson has been excellent in his only two first-team displays against both of the Dundee sides, and Smith seems to be more confident than ever before that he can rely on the youngster when called upon, he said:

‘I now have options for the position with Lee fit again and Danny proving he is also ready to step up when given the opportunities. It’s one I will need to sleep on before making any final decision. McCulloch is an experienced player but not necessarily in that position. Wilson is still a teenager and I need to consider whether it is in his and our best interests to protect or expose him to a game like this.

‘He has played very well though since getting his break and it’s not easy for a boy of 17 to come into the team the way he has.

‘He’s still young but this could be his time and he could be ready to step up now.

‘It’s sometimes easier for midfield players and forwards to come in and do a job but he has handled himself and the situation he has been in well.

‘Because of the injuries we have had he obviously comes into our thinking for the Unirea game because when he’s had opportunities, he has taken them.

‘Whatever I decide the whole team will have to play much better than we did against them at Ibrox if we are to take the points.’
