Scotland have called up Steven Naismith to their squad for the games against Belgium and Albania.

The Hearts forward has scored seven goals so far this season, including a hat-trick in Saturday's 4-1 win against St Mirren.

Naismith replaces Swansea forward Oliver McBurnie who had earlier pulled out with an injury.

The 31-year-old last played for Scotland in March 2017 in a 1-0 win over Slovenia.

Scotland take on Belgium in a friendly at Hampden Park on Friday before their UEFA Nations League opener against Albania on Monday.
