Gers trio miss out
by Alex Livie, 24 March 2008
Scotland boss George Burley has been hit with a trio of withdrawals ahead of Wednesday’s friendly with Croatia.
Rangers trio Barry Ferguson, Christian Dailly and Lee McCulloch have been forced out of Burley’s first game in charge on account of injury.
Fergsuon’s absence had been widely expected, as he has been battling through the pain of an ankle injury for some time and is keen to retain sharpness for Rangers’ push for silverware.
Dailly pulled out on Monday morning, having suffered a broken toe against Hibernian at the weekend.
McCulloch has been bothered by a thigh problem in recent weeks which flared up during the 2-1 win over Hibs, and he will now miss the Croatia clash.
