Gordon, Shankland, Tierney in Scotland squad as Euro 2024 countdown begins

0

Craig Gordon, Lawrence Shankland and Kieran Tierney have been included in Scotland's squad for upcoming friendlies against the Netherlands and Northern Ireland, as the countdown to Euro 2024 begins.

After missing out from the group that were picked to face Norway and Georgia last November, captain Andy Robertson, goalkeeper Angus Gunn plus defenders Grant Hanley and John Souttar also return.

Gordon - who last played for Scotland in November 2022 - is back following his double leg break and would overtake David Weir as Scotland's oldest international if he plays, at 41.

He has played three Scottish Cup games for Hearts this year but will face competition from the current No 1 Gunn, who returns to the group, with club team-mate Zander Clark and Motherwel's Liam Kelly also selected.

Fellow Hearts team-mate Shankland - who has scored 20 league goals in 29 appearances this season - has been rewarded with his spot in the squad, although he was drafted into the last group following Che Adams' injury.
