McNaughton out of Scotland reckoning

Last updated : 03 October 2006 By Michael Morris
A hamstring injury has ruled Kevin McNaughton out of the Scotland squad for the internationals against France and Ukraine.

"I'm gutted. I haven't been in the squad for two years and I was looking forward to it," said McNaughton.

"So I just hope I can get back playing quickly and that I will be considered by Scotland the next time around."

It's unknown yet if the two week break from league action will be enough time to get the full back fit for City's trip to Crystal Palace.

Neil Alexander is with the Scottish squad.
