Ryan Porteous receives 11th hour Scotland call up as Hibs defender drafted in for Scott McTominay

Hibs defender Ryan Porteous has been called up to Steve Clarke's Scotland squad.

The centre-back has 14 caps for the country's Under-21 side but is yet to make his debut for the senior side.

But he's been drafted in to replace Scott McTominay, who hasn't yet recovered from an illness ahead of Monday night's final qualifier against Denmark.

The 10th match in the section has no bearing on the final group standings with the dynamite Danes coasting to 1st place and with a chance of a perfect 10-0-0 record if they win at Hampden.

Meanwhile, Scotland locked down the runner-up spot and a shot at the World Cup 2022 play-offs in March by defeating Moldova 2-0 on Friday night.

However there's still plenty to play for as a win should see us seeded hosts for the one-legged semi-final next year.

A draw could be enough while losing to Denmark means we are all but guaranteed to go in unseeded.

On Saturday night, Clarke handed a call-up to Celtic defender Anthony Ralston.

The right-back replaced suspended Rangers youngster Nathan Patterson and he too could make his senior international debut at Hampden.
