RANGERS midfielder Ryan Jack has become the latest player to pull out of the Scotland squad for the Nations League double header against Albania and Israel - just three days after he was called up.
Jack, who was added to Alex McLeish's squad on Sunday evening, has been sent back to his club by national team medical staff due to a knee problem.
The 26-year-old midfielder has made two appearances for his country in friendlies against the Netherlands last year and Belgium earlier this season.
McLeish was forced to call up four players at the weekend after Kevin McDonald, Charlie Mulgrew, Craig Gordon and Stephen O'Donnell all withdrew due to injuries.
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
