McTominay & Tierney out of friendly v Liechtenstein

International friendly: Liechtenstein v Scotland

Venue: Rheinpark Stadium, Vaduz Date: Monday, 9 June Kick-off: 17:00 BST

Scott McTominay and Kieran Tierney have not travelled with Scotland as they prepare to face Liechtenstein on Monday in a friendly match.

Napoli midfielder McTominay, 28, picked up a knock in the defeat by Iceland on Friday and was replaced on 80 minutes.

Tierney will also miss out on the second match of Scotland’s double-header through injury, which is live on BBC Scotland from 16:30 BST.

Head coach Steve Clarke has already called up two goalkeepers – Ross Doohan and 18-year-old Callan McKenna – after injuries to Angus Gunn and Robby McCrorie against Iceland.

Gunn was replaced by 22-year-old Ipswich goalkeeper Cieran Slicker, who endured a tough debut in the 3-1 defeat by Iceland at Hampden.

There are just five nations ranked below the microstate in the world rankings, including the US and British Virgin Islands and San Marino. And even the San Marinese have beaten Liechtenstein twice in the past year.

They have only won once in their last 48 matches – a 1-0 success over Hong Kong in a friendly last October – and have a squad mainly made up of home-based part-time players who perform in the lower reaches of the Swiss leagues.

In the Euro 2012 qualifiers, manager Craig Levein was made to sweat as a Stephen McManus header in the sixth minute of stoppage time at Hampden spared the Scots one of their most embarrassing ever results as they laboured to a 2-1 victory.

It was not exactly a routine win 13 months later in the return in Vaduz, with Craig Mackail-Smith’s solitary Scotland goal settling it.

This one has shades of the friendly with Gibraltar 12 months ago, which was another stodgy affair and it may be similar this time round at the end of a long season.
