Kieran Tierney Injury Rules Him Out of Scotland’s Euro 2024 Qualifier and Friendly with France
==========================================================================================
Scotland will be without Kieran Tierney for this month’s Euro 2024 qualifier in Spain and the friendly with France after the on-loan Arsenal left-back was replaced during the first half of Real Sociedad’s 3-0 La Liga derby win over Athletic Bilbao on Saturday. Scott McKenna or the returning Liam Cooper may deputise on the left of defence after being named in the squad.
The England-born Elliot Anderson is not included after briefly training with the squad for last month’s games. Luton forward Jacob Brown replaces Hearts’ Lawrence Shankland while Celtic left-back Greg Taylor also returns. A draw or win for Steve Clarke’s side in Spain would ensure qualification to next summer’s finals in Germany.
