Robson out of Argentina test
Scotland manager George Burley has suffered a further call-off ahead of tonight's friendly against Argentina at Hampden.
Celtic midfielder Barry Robson has been forced to withdraw from the squad meaning he will miss the opportunity to take part in Diego Maradona's first game in charge of the South Americans.
Robson is understood to have to felt a tightness in his groin following training and, with the game being a friendly, Burley did not want to take any risks with the player.
His absence brings the total number of call-offs to seven, a problem which was also evident in Burley's previous six games as Scotland boss.
Goalkeeper Craig Gordon, Kenny Miller, Darren Fletcher, Steven Fletcher, James Morrison and Ross McCormack have also been forced to withdraw from tonight's glamour friendly.
Aberdeen forward Lee Miller and Dundee United midfielder Scott Robertson received late call-ups earlier this week.
