Tierney Out of Scotland match

Kieran Tierney will miss Scotland’s European Championship clash with Kazakhstan tomorrow.

The Celtic defender has just returned from two months out of action due to a pelvic injury and won’t be risked on the plastic pitch in Astana.

Celtic fans have expressed their concern about the prospect of Tierney picking up a fresh injury with a Glasgow derby and Scottish Cup semi-final coming up in the next couple of weeks.

With Callum Paterson and Ryan Fraser making themselves unavailable to play on plastic the SFA have set a precedent with five current Celtic players in the squad.

Tierney has captained Scotland before with his hoops team-mate Callum McGregor wearing the armband tomorrow.

After playing non-stop from the start of the season in July Tierney was laid low by a pelvic issue after Celtic’s Europa League tie against RB Salzburg.

On Sunday Scotland travel to face San Marino with Andy Robertson expected to be available after a visit to the dentist.
