Blackburn defender Charlie Mulgrew has been called into the Scotland squad ahead of Friday's World Cup Qualifier with England.

The 30-year-old has just returned to action with Rovers after he suffered a calf injury during his debut for the English Championship side.

Despite enduring a frustrating period with injuries in his last two years with Celtic, Mulgrew has been a regular in Gordon Strachan's team when available for selection.
