Scotland Squad To Face England Announced

Scotland take on England in their 2018 World Cup qualifier on 10 June at Hampden Park and today Gordon Strachan announced his squad for the vital game. Celtic midfielder Stuart Armstrong, whose display earned him man-of-the-match in his debut against Slovenia in March, is one of six Celtic players included in the squad.

Aberdeen are represented by centre half Mark Reynolds and midfielder Kenny McLean while Bournemouth winger Ryan Fraser will be hoping to make his debut having been denied a first cap due to injury against Canada and Slovenia. Winger Jamie Murphy has been recalled to the squad after Brighton and Hove Albion’s promotion to the English Premier League.

Scotland plan to continue the good form which earned them a deserved win in their last game against Slovenia breathing new hope into the qualifying campaign.
