Robbie Ure Earns First Scotland Cap After Sevilla Move

Robbie Ure stands ready for his first Scotland cap. The 22-year-old striker will face Slovenia in the Nations League on Saturday. His journey began at Rangers before a move to Sevilla.

He just played 90 minutes against Barcelona. Facing Pau Cubarsi and Lamine Yamal, Ure breathed the same rarefied air as the World Cup winners. It is a level of play he has never touched before.

Leaving Rangers for a fresh start

Ure left Glasgow as a teenager. He managed only two minutes for the senior side. One against St Mirren in 2022. Another against Hibs in 2023. He felt he was not good enough to stay.

He needed a change of scenery. Anderlecht provided the first step. Then came IK Sirius in Sweden. Now Sevilla has paid £5.5m, plus £2.5m in add-ons. He is the poster boy for youth opportunity in Scottish football.

Scoring goals in the Swedish league

Sweden is where his form exploded. In the 2025-26 season, he scored 11 goals in 30 games. Between April and July this year, he found the net 15 times in 14 matches. It was a period of constant trust and playtime.

He scored four goals in a single game against Mjallby. That was his first hat-trick. He was scoring nearly every week. The club was top of the league. The interest in him grew larger every day.

Learning from elite Spanish opposition

Sevilla lost to Barcelona 3-1 last weekend. Ure has yet to score for his new club. But he views the experience as a critical education. He has played against 12 members of Spain’s World Cup winning squad.

He describes the match as a really good experience. Giving these players one chance usually results in a goal. He is witnessing a different class of football. He believes he will only get better as a result. This story is reported by BBC Sport.
