Kieran Tierney has been ruled out of Scotland's UEFA Nations League game against Albania on Saturday.
The Celtic vice-captain has been struggling to shake off a leg injury since joining up with Alex McLeish's squad earlier in the week and will now stay in Glasgow as his squad fly out to Tirana.
The 21-year-old is the twelfth player to pull out of the Scotland squad for Saturday's clash. Although it remains to be seen whether Tierney will feature in Tuesday's game against Israel in Glasgow.
McLeish has called up Sheffield United midfielder, John Fleck, as a last-minute replacement for John McGinn. Although the 27-year-old won't joing up with the Scotland squad until they return from Albania.
With the Scotland manager needing at least four points - and a win against Israel - to finish top of their group, we can expect to see more replacements brought in before Tuesday's crucial test.
