Gilmour says goodbye to fans on Instagram before Scotland duty
The Scottish midfielder posted a photo of his celebration in front of the away end at the Franchi, with a message to supporters, before leaving Castel Volturno for Nations League duty.
Billy Gilmour, who scored the opener in the 23rd minute of Napoli's 1-1 draw in Florence, posted a photo on Instagram of his celebration in front of the away end at the Franchi. The caption read: "Continueremo a costruire dopo la pausa, ci vediamo presto!" ("We'll keep building after the break, see you soon!"). The post came before he left for Scotland, where he is due for Nations League duty.
Gilmour's goal was not enough on the day. Napoli's lead lasted 28 minutes before Jiménez equalised in the 51st minute. The draw leaves Napoli ninth on 7 points after five games, and the performance in Florence left more doubts than certainties, with Allegri and Politano both calling afterwards for more sharpness in front of goal.

Gilmour's words remain words for now. The squad regroups at Castel Volturno after the international break, with the first test set for Saturday 10 October at the Maradona against Frosinone. That is where it will become clear whether the appetite for a restart, declared on social media, turns into something concrete on the pitch.
