Oliver Burke made a laughing stock of the fact that his last game for Scotland was five years ago by making Bundesliga history on Sunday.The 28-year-old, who was once likened to Gareth Bale, became the first Scottish player to score a hat-trick in the German top-flight.Burke became the first Scottish player to score a Bundesliga hat-trickAFPThe forward claimed the matchball to help Union Berlin edge a seven-goal Bundesliga thriller at Eintracht Frankfurt.Burke, who only joined the Iron Ones this summer from domestic rivals Werder Bremen, hadn’t scored in his first four appearances.However, the Scot opened his account in style days after Frankfurt secured a historic 5-1 Champions League win over Galatasaray.The 13-cap Scotland international made it 2-0 to Union Berlin after the half-hour mark, before scoring twice in four second-half minutes. European football expert Andy Brassell explained on talkSPORT’s Trans Euro Express podcast: “Union went there to Eintracht Frankfurt, who have looked the best team in the Bundesliga that aren’t Bayern this season, and won 4-3 in what was a thrilling, crazy match. “They were 4-1 up at one point, thanks to this Oliver Burke hat-trick.And conceded a couple of late goals, which made it 4-3. “If you had never seen Oliver Burke play and you didn’t have any preconceptions about him, you would have looked at this and you would have thought, this guy is incredible. “It’s a brilliantly taken hat-trick, all on the counter-attack as well.You forget what incredible pace he’s got. “He started out as a wide player in his early days at Nottingham Forest, of course. “And I don’t know if we need a few more games like this, but at what point do we get to the point where Scotland can’t not pick him?”Burke became the second British player, after Kane, to score a Bundesliga hat-trick last weekendOliver Burke's nomadic career2014–2016 Nottingham Forest2015 → Bradford City (loan) 2 (0)2016–2017 RB Leipzig2017–2020 West Bromwich Albion2019 → Celtic (loan)2019–2020 → Alavés (loan)2020–2022 Sheffield United2022 → Millwall (loan)2022–2025 Werder Bremen2023 → Millwall (loan)2023–2024 → Birmingham City (loan)2025– Union BerlinWhen did Oliver Burke last play for Scotland?Burke made his Scotland debut as an 18-year-old in 2016, having once been labelled ‘the Scottish Gareth Bale’.That year, RB Leipzig paid £13million to sign him from Nottingham Forest as a teenager, then a record fee for a Scottish player.Burke then moved to West Brom in a deal worth £15m the following year, with stints around the EFL, Celtic, and now back in Germany.His last cap came as a substitute against Israel in 2020, with his record standing at just one goal in his 13 appearances for the Tartan Army.Yet Burke has never had a chance to rebuild his international standing, despite the dearth of options at Steve Clarke’s disposal.Burke’s only international goal sealed Steve Clarke’s first win as Scotland bossGetty Images - GettyOliver Burke can’t get into the Scotland squadChe Adams, who headlines the four strikers involved in Scotland’s squad this month, is without a goal for Torino this season.Two of his understudies currently play in the Championship, while the other, Kieron Bowie, scored just four times for Hibernian last term.No Scottish striker scored at Euro 2024 last year, with Scott McTominay being the country’s one and only goalscorer in Germany.Trans Euro Express podcast host, Danny Kelly, added: “It’s one of my favourite claims, I go, Oliver Burke can’t get in the Scotland squad. “It’s five years since he played international football. Now I know he’s been a wandering nomad of a footballer, but there’s talent there.“I’m not sure, maybe Scottish listeners can tell us why he isn’t suitable, but that much talent is not exactly swilling around in Scotland’s squad, improving, though it has been over the last few years.”Burke’s treble helped Union Berlin shock FrankfurtAFPVince Mennie was the first Scot to play in the Bundesliga, having made his debut for Cologne 42 years ago.Burke himself came one goal away from netting a hat-trick last season after scoring a double last season for Werder Bremen.It saw him level Alan McInally’s feat, who bagged a brace twice for Bayern Munich in 1989, but now Burke has the coveted hat-trick.European football expert Andy Brassell explained on talkSPORT’s Trans Euro Express podcast: “I think he will follow this up. “I think he will score more goals, because you look at the players he’s got around him and they’ve rebuilt quite well. “I don’t think Union are going to qualify for Europe or anything like that this season. But Ilyas Ansah, who sort of drops into the number 10 role, who created one of his goals today, he’s a terrific player, great vision.”
