Stuart Findlay has been called into the Scotland squad following an injury blow for Liam Cooper.

Leeds centre-back Cooper was ruled out for up to six weeks after suffering a groin injury during his team's victory over West Brom on Tuesday, hours after Steve Clarke named his latest Scotland squad.

Clarke has gone back to former club Kilmarnock to select Findlay for the upcoming European Qualifiers against Russia and San Marino.

Findlay is yet to win a full cap but the 24-year-old has previously been involved in squads and played 35 times across the under-age national teams.

Cooper started both defeats against Russia and Belgium last month, alongside Charlie Mulgrew.
