The young midfielder committed his international future to Scotland for this window of matches.
Steve Clarke has NOT shut down the notion that Elliot Anderson's exit from the Scotland squad has anything to do with him swithering on his international future.
In theory, Anderson could decide to change his mind as he has not been capped fully at senior level and only with the youth levels. But Clarke in his pre-match press conference says he's only out of this squad because of his injury. Asked about fears the midfielder could switch his allegiances to England, he said: “It’s not something I can control. There’s not a lot I can do about it.”
Liam Kelly has also dropped out of the squad. The Motherwell goalkeeper has been replaced by Rangers' Robby McCrorie after picking up a back injury.
