Scotland have confirmed Aaron Hickey will miss Sunday’s World Cup qualifier against Belarus through injury and have called up midfielders Josh Mulligan and Connor Barron.
It is a first senior call-up for 22-year-old Mulligan, who has impressed after switching from Dundee to Scottish Premiership rivals Hibernian this summer.
Rangers 23-year-old Barron has one cap, having made his debut as a substitute in the June friendly win over Liechtenstein.
He and Mulligan replace Bologna’s Lewis Ferguson and Bournemouth’s Ryan Christie, who are both suspended for Sunday’s Group C game after picking up bookings in Thursday’s 3-1 win over Greece at Hampden Park.
