Scotland squad rocked by TWO withdrawals as Steve Clarke turns to ex-Celtic star for first time since Euros

STEVE CLARKE’S Scotland squad has been hit with TWO withdrawals ahead of the final two Nations League matches.

And the Scots boss has called upon a familiar face for the first time since the Euros.

Striker Che Adams has pulled out of the squad after suffering an injury.

He was forced-off just 17 minutes into Torino’s defeat to Fiorentina with a muscle problem on November.

Adams subsequently missed his side’s Turin derby clash with Juventus at the weekend and now won’t be reporting for international duty either.

As well as Adams, Lewis Morgan has withdrawn from the squad.

He’s still in the thick of MLS play-off action with his New York Red Bulls side advancing to the Eastern Conference semi-final.

It is, however, ANOTHER star who has been involved in those play-offs who Steve Clarke has called upon as a replacement.

The Scottish FA have confirmed that Stuart Armstrong has been added to the squad.

The 32-year old is now with Vancouver Whitecaps in Canada, and joins teammate Ryan Gauld in the squad.

It’s the former Celtic star’s first call-up since he featured at the Euros in Germany in the summer.

Armstrong left Southampton at the end of last season and didn’t find a new club until joining Vancouver in September.

Now that he’s been back fit and playing regularly, he’s back in the Scotland fold.
