Scotland boss Steve Clarke has branded questions over Newcastle United winger Ryan Fraser’s commitment to his country as “unfair”.
Fraser withdrew from Scotland’s squad ahead of their important World Cup qualifiers against Moldova and Denmark respectively in November 2021 – citing a calf problem as his reason.
However, Fraser was subsequently photographed training with Newcastle, which raised doubts over his loyalty to Scotland. Clarke was unimpressed by Fraser’s situation at the time although Newcastle reportedly claimed that he was simply testing the injury when on camera.
