Absolutely brilliant news for Lewis Stevenson and well merited in my opinion :agree:

I’m buzzing for Lewis, this is well deserved by the way. This season Lewis has been outstanding overall.

The Stevenson haters won’t like this one bit 😜

[SlickShoes]

Hero

[snooky]

Well done, Lewie. :aok:
How many internationalists were in the starting 11 today?
Is it 6, if you don't include Lewis & Jamie (not played yet) + Dylan (called off injured).
Hanlon & Scott Allan being the other two without caps?

[Unseen work]

Very random and a bit pointless imo.

Tierney, Robertson and Douglas are all well ahead of him and there is no chance he will cement a position in the national team.

I really like Stevenson and think he’s had a very good season but it’s an odd one.

[zlatan]

Well there's an unexpected bit of brilliant news. What Lewis has added to his attacking game this season has been incredible, he can't be far off being our leading player for assists?

[calumhibee1]

Nobody in Scottish football deserves this more.

[iwasthere1972]

Well done Lewis.

[Lancs Harp]

Well done Lewis, delighted for you.

Pointless for who yourself or Lewis ?

Well that's a real negative way of looking at it. No one is saying Lewis is going to be a Scotland regular but getting in the squad is a nice achievement for him.

[Shrekko]

Totally deserved- delighted for him.

Left back is Scotland’s strongest position but overall he deserves a cap in his career.

[500miles]

I'd imagine he is considered to be the best Scottish left back available at the moment.

[neil7908]

Genuinely delighted for the him. A top pro and the attacking side of his game has really come on this season.

Scotland are blessed with left backs, but Robertson won't be in squad and I highly doubt Tierney will be either, while you are right he's not going to cement his place it is still well deserved so I wouldn't say random or pointless

[mentalhibee]

Well deserved after his best season for Hibs

[660]

Lewis Stevenson to single handedly drag Scotland to a World Cup, score a controversial goal with his hand then skin the entire ingurlund team in the quarters before going on to provide the decisive assist in the final.

Murals of king Louis to be found by archaeologists in 10000 years time, cloning technology to bring him back to life where he lives as a god over humanity for a million years, leading to the golden age where we ultimately conquer the universe.

[hibee_girl]

I’ve said it already on the pm board but this is just fantastic for Lewis. He absolutely 100% deserves to be recognised for his efforts this season.

Sounds a bit far fetched - Lewis scoring a goal.

[matty_f]

There's nobody I would want to see in a Scotland shirt more than Lewis. Guy's a massive credit to the football club and this is just a further reflection of that.

To be honest I never saw that coming, well done Lewis.. Shame it's mostly because Tierney and Robertson will have been held back from their clubs, but saying that, to be 3rd or 4th choice after them two is no bad thing..

And yeah, the Haters will be going to bed scratching their heads, and trying to work out how to congratulate Lewis without contradicting themselves!!

Can't wait!!!

[truehibernian]

Lewis Stevenson, Hibs and Scotland :aok::top marks

And some folk would still say we can do better :rolleyes:

Fully deserved, hope he enjoys the experience of playing for his country

[Stantons Angel]

Well said!

I cant believe there are people on this post giving out negatives on this news.

It his sheer endeavour and tenacity that has brought him to the attention of McLeish so for goodness sake be happy for him!

I really despair that people still want to attack him when they should be pleased that Hibs have another player in the International squad.

Whether or not he gets a cap remains to be seen but he will be chuffed to be called into it. This is the sort of thing Lewis needs it has come at the end of a long season. One in which he has been brilliant!

I watched him in Ireland playing for Scotland's u/16s in a wee tour of Ireland and even then he looked fine in the dark blue of Scotland.
Well done wee man and if you go enjoy yourself!

The only thing being though, he may have to cancel his holidays? OOPS!

Been tough having those boys in front of you but if they aren’t playing Lewis can for me step up. He’s solid and a bad game during the week won’t change that. Like you bud I was surprised but over the moon.

[Swedish hibee]

This tops off a fabulous day! Well done Lewis.

[aljo7-0]

Delighted for him. Tops of a great season

[Eaststand]

This, 100%
We are fortunate to have a player like wee Lewy and he absolutely deserves this callup.

GGTTH

[Garymcl]

Well deserved mr consistency Ggtth

[weecounty hibby]

I cannot think of a more deserving Scotland cap. Do do delighted for Lewis. Well done Lewis I am proud to have seen you playing for Hibs for the last ten yesrs

Agree with the jist of your post but disagree that it’s all down to sheer endeavour and tenacity. That’s not enough to get you an international call up. He’s also an extremely fine footballer with a fantastic touch.

Our whole defence has been a shambles these past 2 games but for me this call up is richly deserved - seen far inferior players get call-ups in recent years. I’m sure he’ll not be taken all the way across the world and not get a cap and when he does it’ll be a proud moment for all of us... especially the Kirkcaldy Hibees ;-)

Well deserved recognition for a real pro.

I feel like I’ve heard my own laddies getting called up. Delighted for him.

[ToffeeCabbage]

Great news, well deserved. When was the last time we had 4 different players named in Scotland squads during the same season? Stevenson, Mcginn, Mcgeouch and Hanlon

[Green-Hibee-7]

League & Scottish Cup winner with Hibs.

Testimonial in this day and age.

Never seen him give anything other than 100%.

An appearance for his country at senior level - (albeit it probably won’t be a lasting arrangement with the quality Scotland have there), would really be some career, that he should be very proud off.

I’d be surprised not to see Hanlon back in there as well.

[Green-Hibee-7]

I’d also add - he may be a limited player in some people’s eyes and I’ve no doubt people will raise their eye with his inclusion but - last time I watched Scotland, they were making James Forrest out to be the next Kenny Dalgleish and someone the nation needed in the team.

Lewis had him and a multi million pound English winger in his back pocket the other week.

Fingers crossed he’s involved

[Pretty Boy]

So typical of Scotland. We have 3 world class players and they all play the same position.

[007]

Well chuffed for Lewis, well deserved.

[Bam]

Wish I'd seen this before now, was literally just speaking to him in Lulu's, whole squad were there!

[PeeJay]

Great news for Stevenson, well done - you don't get into a squad just because "better" players are unavailable, he's there on merit I'm sure - he's had a great season, yet again ... hope he gets game time

[adhibs]

Must be brilliant for him. Will be some experience

[SlickShoes]

He’s been great the last two seasons has really become a much better player, I think being relegated gave him the time to get better instead of just plugging the gaps in some of the worst hibs teams ever before we went down.

To get a call up in that position is impressive, i thought hanlon deserved one earlier in the season as well as he is no worse than the players Scotland currently have at cb.

[Borderhibbie76]

I feel like I’ve heard my own laddies getting called up. Delighted for him.This is How i feel about it too...well done wee man what a great reward for such a consistent season from the wee man

Tierney, Robertson and Douglas are all well ahead of him and there is no chance he will cement a position in the national team.

Tierney for centre half ? Back fill for Robertson if he isnt.good enough why select him ?

[Northernhibee]

Great news.

[One Day]

Well done Lewis, great news to round of a great season

[Northernhibee]

There's a song in this for next season

We're all going on a Lewis Stevenson
Off to Mexico and to Peru
We're all going on a Lewis Stevenson
Ram yer 1902

Doo doo doo doo doo doo doo doo

[pacoluna]

Well done 👍



Seems to have attracted a lot of negative tweets from supporters out with Hibs.

[staunchhibby]

Well desrved after the season he has had.On you go Lewis:agree::aok::aok:

[flash]

I don't think you have to be his biggest fan to be pleased for him.
Clearly a great lad off the park too who has more than made the most of his ability.
As he plays in the one position where we are blessed with two top class players this will almost certainly be his one chance so we should all get behind one of our true Hibernian legends.

[Renfrew_Hibby]

One of the unsung heroes of the Scottish game. A lot of Managers, coaches and fellow pros have a lot of respect for Lewis.
I thought Lewis had developed all he could and then this season came along. With good coaching no doubt, he has managed to raise the bar and after 10 years, that's no mean feat.
I view this call up as thoroughly deserved, almost as a thankyou to one of Scottish footballs best role models.

[CRAZYHIBBY]

Excellent news.... some of his crosses and build up play have been utterly outstanding.... he is a fantastic player

[Diclonius]

Holy ****. Well done Lewis!

[Hibs Class]

Well deserved

[G B Young]

Well done Lewis. He deserves recognition for what has been a great season.

A very underrated, selfless player who, let's remember, came to prominence as a rather classy looking midfielder in the 2007 League Cup final. He's had to work exceptionally hard to adapt to that left-back position but has held it down for many years now under a succession of managers. He's also improved significantly as a footballer under Neil Lennon, who isn't slow sideline players he doesn't think are up to the demands he places on his teams.

[SChibs]

I think mcleish is just having a look at stevo to see if he's someone that could step in if 2 of tierney, Robertson and Douglas are injured or need a rest vs a lesser team.

I'm a big fan of Stevenson but I don't think he's quite international standard but could serve as a standby if needed.

[hibbysam]

Some of his crosses yesterday were outstanding. Well deserved for a Hibernian legend. Hopefully gets some game time!

[Voiceofreason]

Very pleased for Lewis. Fine reward for a great season and couldn't have happened to a better pro.

[hibee_girl]

When is the full squad announced?

[therealgavmac]

I feel like I’ve heard my own laddies getting called up. Delighted for him.

Absolutely this!

[jonny]

As it says on the tin
https://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/44103695
If true I'd be delighted for him. Scotland are particularly strong in the left back area but it'd be great to get him a run out and a full cap as recognition for his constant strong performances.

[Fife-Hibee]

Agreed. Criminally underrated, even by our own.

[hibee_girl]

Full squad announced now, Stevenson, McGinn and McGeouch all there :aok:

[hibee_girl]

20758

[Speedy]

Full squad announced now, Stevenson, McGinn and McGeouch all there :aok:

Delighted for all 3.

I'm very surprised at Stevenson getting one given the strength at left back but good on him.

Gutted for Boyle. Hopefully he gets his chance when fully fit.

[Brightside]

No Hanlon. Surely not even Hanlon's biggest critic would have Souter ahead of him??

[Allant1981]

well done to all 3, would liked to have seen hanlon possibly get a call up but not to be, he is better than mckenna and hendry

[TRC]

No Allan thought he might have got a call up after the second half of the season

[BSEJVT]

Great news for Lewis and well deserved.

Anyone who says Lewis cant cross the ball should look at the deliveries for goals 2 & 3 yesterday!

Sadly I am afraid Paul Hanlon's time looks to have come and gone, at least until McLeish gets punted.

McLeish obviously doesn't rate him as after being in Mackay's squad he hasn't featured in McLeish's

Delighted Dylan gets another call up, hopefully he gets some game time.

[The Harp]

Congratulations and well done Lewis on your call up to the national squad. Can't think of anyone more deserving of the honour.
Another anecdote to enthral your grandkids in years to come. :-)
