Scotland have suffered three injury blows ahead of their World Cup qualifier in Piraeus, with midfielder Billy Gilmour ruled out of Saturday’s trip to Greece. Gilmour remains in the squad for the decisive Group C match against Denmark at Hampden Park on Tuesday but will not travel for the match in Greece.

Midfielder Lennon Miller and defender Ross McCrorie have also withdrawn from the squad. Manager Steve Clarke has called up two replacements: Rangers midfielder Connor Barron and West Ham’s Andy Irving.

He subsequently missed Napoli’s Champions League draw with Eintracht Frankfurt and Sunday’s 2-0 loss to Bologna, and will sit out Scotland’s trip to Piraeus.
