Scotland call up Doohan and McKenna after goalkeeper SOS


Scotland have called up free agent Ross Doohan and Bournemouth’s 18-year-old Callan McKenna for Monday’s friendly in Liechtenstein in an attempt to address their goalkeeping crisis.

Angus Gunn and Robby McCrorie have left the squad following Friday’s defeat by Iceland.

Cieran Slicker suffered a torrid debut at Hampden after replacing the injured Gunn, McCrorie having picked up a strain in the warm-up.

Scotland head coach Steve Clarke – who had previously warned that his lack of options in the position was a concern – admitted after the game he would be looking for “another goalkeeper in Scotland who’s not on holiday”.

With first-choice Craig Gordon, plus regular squad members Zander Clark and Liam Kelly, missing from the original squad through injury, the nation have been forced to turn to Doohan and McKenna.

Doohan, 27, is reportedly set to return to Celtic after leaving Aberdeen, where he played 18 times this term as back-up to Dimitar Mitov, while McKenna has been officially added to the squad having trained with them last week.
