​Man Utd midfielder McTominay included in Scotland squad for WC qualifiers

Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay is available for Scotland for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers.

Manager Steve Clarke has named McTominay, along with Celtic captain Callum McGregor, in his 24-man squad for their games against Israel and France.

Another who is selected is Southampton star Stuart Armstrong, even though he has not played a competitive game so far this season due to a calf problem.

McTominay missed the previous three Scotland games due to a groin injury.

Clarke said: "When you name a squad, there are still 11 days until match day so plenty of time, [and there are] a couple of games.

"Callum is in that situation, Stuart Armstrong is in a similar situation but I am hoping that they will both get some minutes over the next couple of games and be fit and available to join the squad.

"The medical staff have been in constant touch. We know where the players are at, and, as always, we will treat them as well as we can."
