Arsenal's Kieran Tierney left out of Scotland squad for Qatar World Cup play-off vs Ukraine

Arsenal defender Kieran Tierney has been left out of Steve Clarke's Scotland squad ahead of their upcoming World Cup play-off clash against Ukraine.

The talented left-back missed the last part of the 2021/22 campaign after picking up a knee injury back in April, missing the Gunners' final ten Premier League clashes as Mikel Arteta's side narrowly missed out on UEFA Champions League qualification, with local rivals Tottenham Hotspur pipping them to fourth. Now, Tierney will also miss out on The Tartan Army's Qatar 2022 World Cup play-off clash against Ukraine, which is due to take place on June 1.

If Steve Clarke's men are able to beat Ukraine, they will then face Wales in the final, with the winner heading to the 2022 World Cup, where they would be in a group with England, Iran and USA. Tierney successfully underwent surgery last month, thanking his fans for their messages of support and informing them it had all gone to plan.
