Gilmour got praised because it was his first start for Scotland (IIRC), his first start in a major tournament and a start in a high pressure game. He got praised because he made his mark, he imposed himself playing against a team with better players and in a team where the two best players are the left backs. Sure, we want him to be more consistent but at the same time, it’s worth remembering that he’s still very young and he had a serious injury at the end of the 2019/20 season. Took him awhile to recover from that and after that, he hardly got enough playing time to build any momentum.
