Scotland team news: Predicted Nations League line up to face Israel – Man Utd ace injured
SCOTLAND travel to face Israel with several injury concerns in the build-up to tonight’s game.
Scotland head into their Nations League game against Israel after a string of injuries plagued their preparations.
Manchester United ace Scott McTominay is the latest player to be ruled out of the game after failing to recover from a thigh problem.
The 21-year-old sustained the knock during United's 3-2 comeback victory over Newcastle.
Ryan Fraser and Leigh Griffiths have withdrawn from the squad after failing to overcome their injuries.
Bournemouth star Fraser has enjoyed a strong start to the campaign with the Cherries who are currently sixth in the Premier League.
Tom Cairney has not been called up to the squad due to recently recovering from an injury amid links to being targeted by England.
The Fulham midfielder is eligible for Scotland through his father but has only made two senior appearances in friendly games and could still switch allegiances.
West Brom winger Matt Phillips has also not been called up by boss Alex McLeish.
Left-back stars Andrew Robertson and Kieran Tierney are both set to feature for Scotland with McLeish keen to deploy a 3-5-2 formation.
Both players have impressed for their clubs and the system, which was deployed during a 2-0 win over Albania, will see Robertson play on the left flank and Tierney tucked in as a left centre-back.
Predicted Scotland team vs Israel
(3-5-2) McGregor; Souttar, Mulgrew, Tierney; Snodgrass, Armstrong, McDonald, McGinn, Robertson; McBurnie, Naismith.
