John Souttar is expected to be the one outfield player axed by Steve Clarke when he announces his 26 man squad for the European Championships in Germany.
The Ibrox ace picked up a mystery injury at half-time during the 2-1 defeat from Celtic on May 11 and hasn’t played since.
Phil Clement was forced to play Leon Balogun and Ben Davies in the Scottish Cup Final although Souttar did report for Scotland training as Steve Clarke assesses his squad.
Lyndon Dykes and Ben Doak dropped out through injury but before tonight’s match against Finland Clarke has to axe two more players for the tourney.
Last night The Sun reported:
JOHN SOUTTAR and Craig Gordon are being cut from Scotland’s Euro 2024 squad.
SunSport understands Steve Clarke is close to unveiling his 26-man finals pool.
Rangers defender Souttar and veteran Hearts keeper Gordon will miss out on a place in Germany.
The Ibrox centre-half struggled with injury in the final weeks of the season and missed Monday’s win over Gibraltar.
But with Scotland well stocked for central defenders, Souttar will be left out.
Liam Kelly and Ryan Jack seem certain to have made the finals squad.
The former Hearts defender is believed to have booked up a holiday with his wife before returning to Murray Park for pre-season training at the end of this month.
You’ve went to the wrong gaff.
Its Lourdes you need to be visiting to cure that sicknote.
