St Mirren's former striker Ryan Flynn has warned that Duckens Nazon will be a threat to Scotland in their World Cup opener. Nazon, now with Esteghlal, had a spell in the Scottish Premiership alongside Flynn on loan from Sint-Truiden. He's a real talisman to be fair for them watching from afar and just following his progress, Flynn told the BBC Scottish Football Podcast. Nazon scored just twice in 12 appearances for St Mirren in 2019 and was sent off in extra time after coming on as a substitute in their penalty shoot-out relegation play-off victory over Dundee United. However, the France-born 32-year-old has found the net an impressive 44 times in 82 appearances for Haiti. He's a player that shoots on sight, that's for sure, Flynn recalled. Whether it's training games, if he sees the goal, he shoots on sight. It can be erratic at times, but on that, if you don't shoot, you don't score. I think he's got that mentality that, if he gets a quarter of a chance, he's letting one go and on the odd occasion it does go in. But, for Haiti, he's pulled off some real upsets and they've beat some top nations along the way. And [Bastia goalkeeper] Johny Placide, the captain, I played with him at Oldham actually, so it'll be interesting seeing those guys.
