Gordon withdraws from Scotland squad

Sunderland's Craig Gordon has officially been ruled out of the Scotland squad for next Saturday's friendly against Wales in Cardiff. The Black Cats keeper suffered a fractured arm in a collision with Jermaine Defoe during Tottenham's 2-0 win on Saturday where he had to be replaced by Marton Fulop midway through the second half.

Rangers defender Steven Whittaker is a doubt after he was taken off during the 2-1 win over St Mirren with a hamstring complaint.

A Scottish Football Association spokesperson said: "Craig is obviously out but we are still waiting on news on Steven Whittaker.

"The players are not due to meet up until Tuesday morning at Glasgow airport so we will have a better idea then."
