  "account": "Luis Binks, a 25-year-old centre-half and captain of Brondby, is eager to make an impact for Scotland in their upcoming match against Slovenia. The Brondby defender, who boasts a colorful background spanning Tottenham, Montreal Impact, Bologna, Como, Coventry, and Brondby, is one of eight uncapped players in the new manager's squad. Binks, whose grandfather hails from Dunbar, had a unique journey from club-less to his Scotland call-up in just three years. He recounts his time at Montreal Impact during lockdown, where he forged a strong bond with Thierry Henry, who was also staying at the Ritz-Carlton. Binks credits Henry for giving him his first taste of senior football. With Scotland's call-up, Binks aims to leave his mark on the team and prove himself in the heart of Sebastien Pocognoli's defence.",
