Scotland in third injury blow for Euro 2024 qualifiers as Liverpool star set to miss rest of the season

Steve Clarke will be unable to call on the the services of Liverpool star Calvin Ramsay when Scotland begin their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign next month.

The 19-year-old is set to sit on the sidelines for the rest of the season after undergoing knee surgery. He delivered an update from his hospital via his Instagram. Accompanying a picture of him sitting giving the thumbs up, he said: "Surgery went well, time to rest, recover and come back stronger!”

Ramsay moved to Liverpool from Aberdeen in the summer in a big-money move. He featured twice for Jurgen Klopp's first-team and made his national team bow in the 2-1 friendly loss to Turkey, replacing Ryan Fraser at half-time.

He’ll miss the double header at Hampden Park with Cyprus and Spain in March, joining Craig Gordon as being unavailable with Scott McKenna also a doubt following a hamstring injury which has ruled him out for between four and six weeks.
