Scott McKenna to return to Scotland squad for final Euro 2020 qualifiers

The Aberdeen defender has been out with a hamstring injury

Published 5th Nov 2019

Scott McKenna will return to the Scotland squad for this month's final two European Qualifiers.

The centre-back has not played for Scotland this season because of a hamstring injury but has now played the last five games for Aberdeen.

Manager Clarke will name his squad for the games against Cyprus and Kazakhstan on Tuesday lunchtime.

McKenna will come back into what has been a problem area for Clarke because of injuries. Five different players have lined up in central defence during his first six matches in charge and two are expected to drop out of the squad.

Charlie Mulgrew looks set to drop out after suffering a hamstring injury playing for Wigan while Kilmarnock's Stuart Findlay (hamstring) is also likely to miss out.

But Leeds defender Liam Cooper returned to action after injury over the past week.
