Celtic striker Callum McGregor has been called into the Scotland squad for the 2018 World Cup qualifiers against Slovakia and Slovenia.

McGregor's call-up was announced on the Scottish Football Association's Twitter account on Sunday.

The 24-year-old took his goals tally for the season to six with a double in Celtic's 2-2 draw against Hibernian on Saturday.

McGregor's call-up was prompted by injuries to Celtic team-mates Stuart Armstrong and Scott Brown, who were ruled out of the two qualifiers which will determine Scotland's World Cup fate.
