When Harry Souttar looks to his left, he sees unflappable 18-year-old Lucas Herrington next to him and a 22-year-old sensation in Jordy Bos marauding down the wing.
To his right, Alessandro Circati is 22 but plays like a seasoned veteran, while 24-year-old wing-back Jacob Italiano is only getting better.
Souttar is still just 27 himself but is the elder statesman of a starting backline Tony Popovic - a former imposing centre-back himself - trusts to get the job done.
