Five Pull Out Of Scotland Squad For Gibraltar Trip

Published 10th Oct 2015

Leigh Griffiths, James McArthur, James Morrison, Charlie Mulgrew and Jordan Rhodes have withdrawn from the Scotland squad for the final qualifier against Gibraltar in Faro on Sunday.

The Scottish Football Association confirmed the withdrawals in a message on its official Twitter account.

The game in Portugal against the Group D minnows is essentially meaningless after Scotland's qualification hopes were ended by their 2-2 draw with Poland on Thursday, coupled with the Republic of Ireland's 1-0 victory over world champions Germany.
