Two Anglos Called Up To Scots Squad

McCormack’s last cap came in a friendly against Poland in March 2014

Scotland have called up Fulham striker Ross McCormack and Birmingham right-back Paul Caddis for Thursday’s friendly against the Czech Republic.

Norwich duo Steven Naismith and Steven Whittaker have both withdrawn from the squad preparing for the trip to Prague.

Caddis’ call-up brings the number of uncapped players in the squads to face the Czechs and Denmark to eight.

Manager Gordon Strachan will use the games to assess some new faces ahead of the 2018 World Cup qualifiers.

Hibernian midfielder John McGinn, Celtic left-back Kieran Tierney, Aberdeen midfielder Kenny McLean, on-loan Blackburn striker Tony Watt, Nottingham Forest midfielder Oliver Burke, Brighton’s Jamie Murphy and Leeds defender Liam Cooper are the other players yet to taste senior international football.
