Six pull out of Scotland 'B' match

Tue 05 May, 10:11 AM


Scotland manager George Burley has suffered six withdrawals ahead of Wednesday's B international against Northern Ireland.

Burley was already bracing himself to be without Celtic's Mark Wilson, who is recovering from a hernia operation, and Graham Dorrans of West Brom, who had been nursing a foot injury.

Added to the list are Darren Barr, Craig Bryson, Ross Wallace and Paul Gallagher.

Livingston's Leigh Griffiths - named PFA Scotland's First Division player of the year on Sunday night - has been added to the squad.

There are also call-ups for Ian Black, Jack Ross, Chris Burke and Rangers defender Andy Webster, whose last taste of first team action was while on loan at Bristol City in December.

Motherwell striker David Clarkson will now captain the side in the absence of Barr.
