Kenny Dalglish clamps Celtic call up complaint from Steve Clarke as Scotland boss warned over 'dwelling' on absentees

Kenny Dalglish reckons Scotland boss Steve Clarke should capitalise on Celtic players pulling out of the international squad rather than focus on missing stars.

Ange Postecoglou stated he would not release players to represent their countries, meaning the likes of David Turnbull, Greg Taylor and Anthony Ralston will miss the friendly clash with Turkey in favour of playing in the Sydney Super Cup tournament. He drafted in Lewis Ferguson from Bologna and Calvin Ramsay from Liverpool have been called into the squad as replacements, but Clarke admitted he was "disappointed" by the Scottish champions decision.

Former Celtic hero Dalglish insists that his former club have every right to keep their squad together and focus on their Scottish Premiership title charge and push for Champions League football again. He insists the likes of Anfield kid Ramsay coming in at right-back for Ralston could be vital for the future of the national side.
