Wigan star Shaun Maloney set for Scotland recall
ON-FORM Wigan star Shaun Maloney is set for a Scotland recall when Craig Levein names his squad for this month’s friendly in the USA.
The former Celtic player’s return to form has coincided with the Latics pull away from the Premiership relegation fight.
Maloney has struggled with injuries this season but is now back to fitness and at the top of his game.
He has also scored some big goals for Wigan in recent weeks in their shock wins over Newcastle, Liverpool and Manchester United.
Shaun Maloney is set for a Scotland recall
Maloney hasn’t been involved in a Scotland squad since 2010 when he won the last of his 19 caps in a win over the Faroe Isles, mainly because of injury.
Scotland boss Craig Levein is set to give some of his fringe players a run out like Leeds United star Robert Snodgrass while Blackpool winger Matt Phillips could also be involved.
