JOHN McGinn has become the latest player to pull out of the Scotland squad for the Nations League double header against Albania and Israel.
The withdrawal of the Aston Villa midfielder, who has suffered a calf strain, takes the number of call-offs to eleven.
Mikey Devlin, Craig Gordon, Ryan Jack, Jon McLaughlin, Charlie Mulgrew, Kevin McDonald and Stephen O'Donnell in pulling out injured.
Jon McLaughlin has opted to play for Sunderland in their League One game against Wycombe Wanderers this weekend.
Leigh Griffiths and Steven Naismith had been ruled out before the squad was announced while Matt Ritchie and Roberts Snodgrass had told Scotland manager Alex McLeish they did not want to be considered for selection.
McLeish's men are looking to win their final two Group C1 matches in Shkoder on Saturday evening and at Hampden on Tuesday night to secure a Euro 2020 play-off spot.
