Ryan Jack Withdraws from Scotland Squad Ahead of Euro 2024 Qualifier Against Spain
=================================================================================
Scotland manager Steve Clarke has been dealt a blow ahead of Thursday’s Euro 2024 qualifier against Spain, with midfielder Ryan Jack withdrawing from the squad due to injury. Jack has missed Rangers’ past two matches after picking up an injury against his former club Aberdeen.
The news comes as a further blow to Scotland’s chances of qualifying for next summer’s finals in Germany, as defender Kieran Tierney is also out due to injury. Despite the setback, Scotland can still qualify for the finals if they avoid defeat in Spain or if Norway fail to beat Cyprus on the same night.
Clarke’s side currently top Group A with five wins from five and beat Spain 2-0 in the reverse fixture at Hampden in March.
