​Sheffield Utd striker McBurnie out of Euro2020

Sheffield United striker Olie McBurnie will not play for Scotland at Euro 2020.

The 24-year-old has been out of action since he broke his foot on April 11th against Arsenal in the Premier League.

Despite his best attempts to get fit in time for the tournament, McBurnie has ruled himself out of selection.

The Sheffield United striker wrote on Twitter, two days before Scotland announce their squad for the tournament:

"I'm devastated that I suffered a fractured metatarsal which ruled me out for the rest of the season and has unfortunately ruled me out for the Euros.

"Not to be able to go to that tournament with the boys is heartbreaking for me. Thank you for all your messages and support."
