Scotland star Ryan Gauld has been labelled as 'world class' after netting a hat trick for Vancouver Whitecaps. Gauld was finally introduced to the Scotland set-up under Steve Clarke for the latest UEFA Nations League campaign and has come on as a substitute in all four appearances in the competition so far. He scored three goals as Vancouver hammered Portland Timbers in a 5-0 rout in the MLS play-offs on Thursday, and former Everton, Sunderland and Republic of Ireland star Kevin Kilbane - who is now a pundit on Canadian TV - was blown away by Gauld's performance.

It was world class. He had a real desire and intent and you can see he is the real leader in the team. "It was a complete performance and I don't think I have ever seen him play better and he's had a lot of really good games for the Whitecaps.
"A total performance and Ryan Gauld was simply outstanding.".
