Ryan Fraser has apologised to Scotland boss Steve Clarke after training with Newcastle United just days after withdrawing from international duty.
Fraser had been called up by Clarke for the Tartan Army's crucial World Cup qualifiers against Moldova and Denmark last November, but pulled out of the squad with a muscle issue. However, Fraser then went on to train with his Newcastle team-mates on Eddie Howe's first day in charge as the winger looked to impress the new head coach.
Much time has passed since then, of course, but Fraser has been left out of Clarke's squad for next week's friendly against Poland, which is Scotland's first game since the club v country row. Given Fraser's form for Newcastle, though, it may not be long until the Aberdeen native is back in contention for his country.
