5 Lyndon Dykes replacements Scotland could call up as Steve Clarke faces Euro 2024 striker shortage

Scotland's pre-Euro 2024 injury woes have suffered another huge set back after Lyndon Dykes was ruled out of the tournament.

The 28-year-old had to be stretchered off in a training session at Lesser Hampden on Friday afternoon with an unidentified injury, with the SFA now confirming that the Queens Park Rangers man will not take part in the finals in Germany.
