Kieran Tierney returns, Andy Robertson out for Scotland’s Nations League matches | Football News

Arsenal left-back Kieran Tierney and Newcastle United’s Ryan Fraser have been recalled to the Scotland squad for their upcoming Nations League matches.

Rangers duo Ryan Jack and Jon McLaughlin also return, as do Norwich midfielder Kenny McLean and Ryan Porteous of Hibernian.

However, captain Andy Robertson, striker Ross Stewart and defenders John Souttar and Liam Cooper miss out due to injury and fitness, while there’s no place for Allan Campbell or Lewis Ferguson in the 25-man squad.

Scotland host Ukraine and the Republic of Ireland next week before a trip to Poland for what could be a decisive match against Ukraine, who lead their Nations League group by a point.
