Kilmarnock goalkeeper Robby McCrorie likely to withdraw from Scotland squad

Kilmarnock’s Robby McCrorie is set to withdraw from Steve Clarke’s Scotland squad for the upcoming Nations League fixtures against Poland and Portugal with a hip injury.

McCrorie, 26, was an unused substitute for Derek McInnes’ side’s 1-1 draw against Hibs on Sunday, with the Kilmarnock boss reluctant to risk his goalkeeper.

“He’s not been able to kick as yet but we needed him on the bench,” McInnes said.

“He’s not fully fit, so I would imagine that’s going to cause us to probably pull him out of the squad.

“If he could kick the ball and be fully competent with that side of it, then we don’t want to be pulling him out of the squad.

“But he’s not there yet. He’s still probably about five or six days away from being able to do that without any discomfort.

“His training’s been limited. He’s just been handling and he’s not been doing any kicking. Until that settles, then we can’t put him at risk.”
