Scotland call Leigh Griffiths and Scott Bain up for Ireland clash

Celtic striker Leigh Griffiths and Dundee ‘keeper Scott Bain have been called up to the Scotland squad for their Euro 2016 qualifier against Ireland at the Aviva Stadium on June 13.

Scotland call Leigh Griffiths and Scott Bain up for Ireland clash

Griffiths, Celtic’s top scorer with 19 goals this season, last won a cap for Scotand in a World Cup qualifier against Belgium two years ago. Bain’s call-up comes after it was confirmed that Hull City’s Allan McGregor will miss the game in Dublin in order to devote more recovery time to a long-term injury at the end of the season.

There’s also a recall for the in-form Charlie Adam of Stoke City while Celtic’s Charlie Mulgrew returns after making his comeback for his club in Friday’s scoreless draw with St Johnstone following five months out with injury. Mulgrew was a key player for Scotland when they inflicted a 1-0 defeat on Martin O’Neill’s men in Celtic Park in November.
