Scotland Team News

Clarke has brought in Connor Barron and Josh Mulligan to fill the gaps left by suspended midfielders Ryan Christie and Lewis Ferguson, who were both booked in Scotland’s resilient 3-1 comeback win over Greece. Unfortunately, Aaron Hickey is sidelined with a knee injury sustained during the same game, and the Brentford defender has returned to London for further evaluation.

Despite Hickey’s injury woes over the past two years, including a lengthy absence caused by a severe hamstring injury that required surgery, Clarke remains cautiously hopeful, He noted that Hickey’s condition has improved since the initial diagnosis.

Angus Gunn, who started in goal against Greece over the veteran Craig Gordon, is expected to retain his spot between the sticks. The squad also benefits from the experienced Gordon rejoining the 25-man roster ahead of this important double-header.

In their latest outing, Scotland came from behind to overturn the deficit and secure a 3-1 victory against Greece at Hampden, demonstrating the resilience that has become synonymous with Clarke’s leadership. The win preserved their perfect home record in the qualifiers and highlighted the team’s steadfast determination.
