Scotland squad decimated by injuries

Craig Levein is resigned to losing six crocked stars for Scotland's friendly against Sweden on Wednesday night, reports the Scottish Sun. Rangers pair Lee McCulloch and Andy Webster, plus former Ibrox man Alan Hutton are out of the trip to Stockholm.

And they are set to be joined on the sick list by Celtic skipper Scott Brown, Graham Dorrans and back-up keeper David Marshall.

It's a major blow for Levein in only his second match in charge, just three weeks before the Euro 2012 qualifiers start in Lithuania.

Dundee United pair Scott Robertson and Garry Kenneth have been added to the squad and Everton's Iain Turner will come in if Marshall pulls out.
