McCormack expecting to be fit for Leeds after pulling out on Scotland

Ross McCormack says he will be right to play for Leeds United this weekend despite being forced out of the Scotland squad.

The 27-year old striker was called up by Gordon Strachan to replace injured Blackburn Rovers star Jordan Rhodes but has now succumbed to a hamstring problem himself and will not be available for Tuesday's friendly with Norway in Molde.

However, McCormack suggested he will fine to take on Middlesbrough in the Championship this weekend so he can add to his tally of 11 league goals so far this campaign.
