The midfielder was replaced by Mason Mount in added time, and was spotted limping around the side of the pitch after his withdrawal.

There were injury worries over McTominay last month when he came off for United after suffering a knee injury against Burnley, but it proved to be nothing serious.

Scotland manager Steve Clarke will hope for a repeat situation, with his side kicking off the tournament opener against Germany in just three weeks.

The national team manager is already without Aaron Hickey, Nathan Patterson and Lewis Ferguson this summer due to injuries.
