Scotland Calls Doohan, McKenna Amid Goalkeeper Crisis Ahead Liechtenstein Friendly

News summary

Scotland is facing a severe goalkeeping crisis ahead of their friendly match against Liechtenstein, following injuries to multiple key keepers including Angus Gunn, Robby McCrorie, Craig Gordon, Zander Clark, and Liam Kelly. After Gunn's injury early in a recent 3-1 defeat to Iceland, 22-year-old Cieran Slicker was forced into an unprepared debut, making critical errors that led to all three goals. In response, Scotland head coach Steve Clarke has called up free agent Ross Doohan, who is set to return to Celtic after leaving Aberdeen, and 18-year-old Callan McKenna from Bournemouth, who has been training with the squad. Doohan, with experience at youth international levels and 18 appearances for Aberdeen last season, is expected to provide more stability, while McKenna is likely to serve as backup. Clarke acknowledged the difficulties posed by the depleted goalkeeping options and is actively seeking additional cover within Scotland. This situation underscores the national team's struggles with depth in the goalkeeper position, prompting urgent measures ahead of upcoming fixtures.
