Steve Clarke has a number of injury concerns ahead of the Nations League playoff games vs Greece.

Scotland head coach Steve Clarke is sweating over the fitness of a number of his player ahead of the crucial Nations League playoff double-header with Greece next month.

Already forced to be without the likes of John McGinn, Nathan Patterson and Angus Gunn earlier in the campaign, Clarke will be hoping he can call on some of his injured stars ahead of the two-legged relegation playoff, with the first leg starting on March 20 in Athens.

While Lewis Ferguson, John Souttar and Aaron Hickey has all had positive injury updates in the last few days, there’s still an anxious wait over several of the Tartan Army’s starting XI, with up to six players currently potentially missing against Greece.

Ahead of the game at the Nations League squad announcement in March, The Scotsman brings you all the latest injury news from the Scotland camp:
