Ross McCormack and Paul Caddis called into the Scotland squad

Scotland have called up Ross McCormack and Paul Caddis to their squad for Thursday's friendly against Czech Republic.
The duo have been drafted in by manager Gordon Strachan following the withdrawals of Norwich pair Steven Naismith and Steven Whittaker.
Striker McCormack has scored 21 goals for Fulham this season, despite the team lying just above the relegation zone in the Sky Bet Championship.
Former Celtic defender Caddis, a regular in the Birmingham side chasing a promotion play-off spot, was last in the Scotland squad in March 2013, for the World Cup qualifier away to Serbia.
Scotland assistant Mark McGhee praised McCormack for his attitude, despite receiving his call-up at short notice.
"When we made the late call to Ross he couldn't get here quick enough," McGhee said.
"That's the sort of attitude the manager wants, the people who want to be here, and Ross's reaction was very, very positive. So, we'll be glad when he gets here."
