ALEX McLEISH has selected all four available Celtic stars, plus former Celt Start Armstrong in his Scotland team to play Kazakhstan in the Astana Arena this afternoon.
Scott Bain will take over as Scotland’s No.1 from this game onwards, while the side is captained by Callum McGregor. James Forrest, who scored five goals in his last two Scotland starts, is in the side as is Oli Burke, who this morning has been linked to a move to Crystal Palace in the summer. Celtic, though, should not be eliminated in securing a permanent deal for the West Brom man this summer.
Former Celtic targets John McGinn and Scott McKenna both start.
The game kicks off at 3pm Celtic Park time and given the teams in the group, looks like a must win match.
Kieran Tierney is in Astana but was pulled out of the match yesterday due to the ongoing concerns relating to his hip injury, while Ryan Christie wasn’t in the squad due to his hamstring injury.
Here’s the Scotland team…
