Lewis Morgan has been called up to the Scotland squad ahead of Euro 2024.
Steve Clarke has drafted in the New York Red Bulls forward to bolster his attacking options ahead of the major tournament in Germany.
Earlier this week, Under-21 international Tommy Conway was called up to replace the injured Lyndon Dykes.
But just as that piece of positive news was delivered, word was announced that Liverpool prospect Ben Doak had to withdraw due to an injury.

Meanwhile, as former players go, Paul Lambert is as well placed as any to give a flavour of what the current crops will be feeling in both camps heading into the opening game of the European Championships.
The Celtic and Borussia Dortmund legend has played in a similar occasion for his country after all, as part of theĀ ScotlandĀ midfield that ran world champions Brazil so close in the opening match of the World Cup in France in 1998.
He also knows full well the weight of expectation that the German footballing public will be placing on āDieĀ Mannschaftā as they go into their home tournament, and he is hoping that the pressure on them will work in the favour of his own national team as they look to pull off an almighty shock in Munich next Friday.
āItās a brilliant game because Scotland have nothing to lose and nothing to fear,ā Lambert said.
