Scotland Team’s Up – Callum McGregor starts, Greg Taylor on bench in Oslo

Steve Clarke has named his Scotland side to play Norway in the 5pm kick-off in the UEFA European Qualifier in the Ullevaal Stadion in Oslo in the sweltering heat.

Angus Gunn is in goals, the three central defenders are former Celts Kieran Tierney and Jack Hendry and they are joined by former Hibs man Ryan Porteous. Two former Celtic Academy stars Andy Robertson and Aaron Hickey are the wing-backs in a back five.

Celtic captain Callum McGregor plays alongside Scott McTominay, John McGinn and another former Celt Ryan Christie in the middle of the park and Lyndon Dykes is the centre forward, with McGinn and Christie getting forward when they can.

Celtic’s Greg Taylor is on the bench alongside former Celt Stuart Armstrong and the two sub goalkeepers Liam Kelly and Zander Clark. They are joined by Dom Hyam, Lawrence Shankland, Billy Gilmour, Liam Cooper, Lewis Ferguson, Kevin Nisbet and Kenny McLean. Jack is also a sub.
