Kieran Tierney has pulled out of the Scotland squad alongside Scott McKenna and Scott McTominay as Steve Clarke has been hit with a major injury blow ahead of Tuesday's clash with Ukraine. And the boss has turned to Hearts duo Stephen Kingsley and Barrie McKay to make up the numbers.
Tierney went off in the first half of last night's win over Ireland with a suspected head injury as Greg Taylor emerged from the bench to replace him. The nature of the injury meant Clarke and his medical team were taking no chances but in a post-match update, Clarke said it was only a precaution.
But following the knock he has pulled out of the squad alongside McTominay and McKenna, who will return to Manchester United and Nottingham Forest respectively. Meanwhile Hearts duo Kingsley and McKay return to the squad after long absences and will travel to Poland to link up with the group.
