Scotland boss gives Scott McTominay Manchester United injury update

Scotland boss Steve Clarke has given injury update on Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay.

The 23-year-old had to miss the club games due to his knee ligament damage. He was sent off at the half-time of the Red Devils'4 - 1 victory over Newcastle on Boxing Day. Speaking on the Scotland international, Clarke has revealed he is hopeful to see the player available for their Euro 2020 pay-off semi final on March 26. He said: "I am keeping my fingers crossed that the three mentioned recover well and can be available in March. It will be close for all of them but always hopeful, never ruling anyone out at this stage. There is still a long time to go before we get to March. I've had feedback from the medical departments, all three are working towards recovery. Whether they make it or not is a different story. I am optimistic that they will all make it. That's what you have to be. I think they will be close. Whether they are close and make it or close and just miss it is going to be decided by recovery. Without having first-hand knowledge of how the clubs recover the players and having the exact details of how the recovery is going to be, then it is difficult for me to gauge it. I do know that all the players will be doing their best to be fit and I am sure the clubs want them fit to help their own cause anyway, it's just wait and see what happens."
