Hide AdScotland assistant coach Steve Reid has spoken about Fraser’s injury after the winger’s international team-mates linked up for the Euro 2020 play-off final against Serbia.
“Ryan and Grant Hanley, at the moment, are struggling,” said Reid. “It’s disappointing. Grant has missed a little bit of football, and unfortunately is not going to be with us, and Ryan as well. He performed really well in the past camp, so that’s a blow, but we have got strength in depth.”
