Robby McCrorie likely to withdraw from Scotland squad for Nations League

Robby McCrorie is set to withdraw from Steve Clarke’s Scotland squad for the Nations League double-header against Poland and Portugal with a hip problem.

The 26-year-old goalkeeper was again on the bench for Kilmarnock’s 1-1 Premiership draw against Hibernian at Rugby Park on Sunday.

The Scots face Poland in their League A Group 1 opener at Hampden Park Thursday before a trip to Lisbon next Sunday but it looks like McCrorie will miss out.

Killie boss Derek McInnes said: “I’m not sure. Robbie’s been good enough to sit on the bench at the minute.

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

“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.”
