Sheffield Utd striker McBurnie addresses Scotland squad over video

Sheffield United striker Oli McBurnie has spoken to Scotland team-mates after footage emerged that raised questions about his commitment to the national team.

McBurnie was captured on camera in the Bramall Lane tunnel allegedly saying he hoped he would not be called up for his country during a conversation involving fellow Scot John Fleck and other team-mates.

Scotland assistant coach Steven Reid said: "He spoke to the group before training, went out on the training pitch and wanted to speak to everyone and clarify the situation, which was cleared up pretty quickly."

McBurnie also spoke to manager Steve Clarke about the controversy.

Reid added: "He is here, he is committed and he has spoken to the manager and the manager has made it clear that anyone that's not committed to being involved in squads, then they are not going to be involved."
