Defenders back to boost Scots

International Football, 15:58, September 5, 2010 , | No Comments

Scotland welcome back Lee Wallace and Kevin McNaughton into their squad for the Euro 2012 qualifier against Liechtenstein on Tuesday.

Both players were ruled out of the 0-0 draw in Lithuania on Friday but are fit again and are back in contention to play for Craig Levein's side at Hampden Park in the first home qualifier.
Levein will be relieved to have the duo back as fellow defender Steven Whittaker picked up a calf knock in Friday's goalless draw in Kaunas and is rated as a major doubt.
Meanwhile, striker Steven Fletcher is still struggling with a foot injury so is unlikely to play while goalkeeper Iain Turner has been drafted into the squad as cover for David Marshall, who has an elbow injury.
Chris Iwelumo is also out of the clash as the Barnsley man has a hamstring injury but, despite the injury concerns, the Scots are expected to pick up their first win of the qualifying campaign as they look to boost their chances of making it to the Euros in a couple of years.
Punters may want to use their free bet to back Levein's men to see off Liechtenstein on Tuesday in convincing style.
