Kieran Tierney has trained with the Scotland camp ahead of Friday's England clash - but was still limping as he took part in running drills.
The defender missed the clash against Czech Republic yesterday afternoon with a 'niggle' as confirmed by head coach Steve Clarke.
He was not even involved in the 23-man match day squad and there were fears the Arsenal star would also miss the Auld Enemy square-off.

Clarke revealed he did have a chance of playing at Wembley on Friday, but footage from the training camp shared by STV showed KT hobbling as he ran during his warmup.
Tierney, 24, was working alongside the players who either did not feature during yesterday's 2-0 defeat or played a small role including Celtic's Callum McGregor who came off the bench during the action.
Boss Clarke earlier said: "He's got a chance, we'll work on him over the next few days but he's got a chance to be fit for Friday."
Scots need something from the game against Gareth Southgate's charges to stand any chance of qualifying from Group D following their disappointment at Hampden.
