Scottish Football Transfer News: Celtic eye Bayern Munich starlet, Rangers star undecided on future, Jota backed for transfer, No Hibs interest in star, Aberdeen changes to be made

Scotland are back in action this evening when they take on Austria in Vienna in a friendly.

Steve Clarke’s side could have been preparing for a World Cup play-off final for a place at the Qatar tournament. However, this is the final fixture before June when the national team are due to play Ukraine then a possible clash with Wales who have already defeated Austria.

On top of that, there are four Nations League games. Scotland captain Andy Robertson said it would be “unacceptable" to fit so many games into a period when players are already having their time off prior to pre-season cut short.

“From a football point of view, I don’t think it’s fair to ask players to play six international games in June when our summer break is already being cut short because of the World Cup Finals during the season,” he said.

“A lot has been said about player welfare over the last couple of years and I hope that’s at the front of it.

“All the players are going to have to go through it and to ask players to have only two weeks off in a whole year is unacceptable for me."

Meanwhile, prior to the friendly in Vienna where Clarke is expected to make changes the Under-21s are in action in Kazakhstan.

The team are sitting fourth in qualification and very unlikely to qualify, needing three wins from their remaining three fixtures to stand any chance.
