The Scots return to international duty with a double-header against Israel and Faroe Islands next month

Steve Clarke has included side-lined Celtic captain Callum McGregor in his latest Scotland squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifiers against Israel and Faroe Islands.

The midfielder, who signed a five-year contract extension last week, has missed the Hoops last four games due to a hamstring problem and is doubtful to play in their Europa League clash with Bayer Leverkusen on Thursday night.

However, Clarke has taken the gamble on naming McGregor in his 24-man squad for their double-header next month.

After narrow 1-0 victories over Moldova and Austria during the previous international break, the Scots will return to qualification duty in high spirits, knowing maximum points from their next three fixtures would guarantee at least a play-off for next year’s finals in Qatar.
