Terry Butcher has confirmed that Scotland have been told that James McFadden's yellow card against Macedonia on Saturday cannot be appealed. The result means that the Birmingham forward will definitely miss the crucial World Cup qualifier against Holland at Hampden Park on Wednesday.

"We contacted FIFA but that's it as far as they are concerned. There is no appeal, the booking stands and Faddy doesn't play on Wednesday," Butcher said.

"We draw a line under that now and we have to move on.

"There are a couple who aren't available to play on Wednesday so we have added Graham Dorrans and Gavin Rae to the squad so that gives us more bodies and options in midfield.

"It's an opportunity for other people to step in and if they can, try to fill Faddy's shoes."
