What is the latest Scotland news?

Grant Hanley has withdrawn from the Scotland squad for friendlies against Netherlands and Northern Ireland as Norwich strive to get the defender back to full fitness.

The 32-year-old centre-back has made nine appearances for the Canaries since returning on Boxing Day after eight months out with an Achilles injury.

However, Hanley has missed his club’s last two matches in the Championship after limping out of their defeat at Middlesbrough earlier this month.

His absence means he will not have played for the national team for more than a year by the time Clarke selects his squad for the European Championship. Scotland have no immediate plans to call up another defender for Hanley.

Craig Gordon is one of four goalkeepers included in the Scotland squad.

The 41-year-old has made three appearances for Hearts since recovering from a double leg break and has been recalled to join Angus Gunn, Zander Clark and Liam Kelly in the squad.

Callum McGregor, Jacob Brown and Aaron Hickey miss out through injury. Rangers midfielder Ryan Jack is also absent after being hampered by fitness issues in recent months.

In-form Hearts striker Lawrence Shankland is included after netting against Georgia following his late call-up in November.

Clarke explained his reasoning behind picking four goalkeepers.

“It gives us a chance to look at Craig up close because he has had three competitive games and, without being disrespectful to the opposition Hearts have played in the cup, probably not games where Craig was over-worked,” he said.

“So it will be nice to see Craig in training with the other goalkeepers. Three of those goalkeepers will go to the Euros and one will miss out. That’s the situation.”
