Scotland have called up Hibernian defender Ryan Porteous into their squad for Monday's World Cup qualifier against Denmark.

Porteous, 22, is a direct replacement for Scott McTominay, who has not recovered from illness which ruled the Manchester United player out of Scotland's 2-0 victory away to Moldova on Friday.

It follows a first call-up to the senior squad for Celtic right-back Anthony Ralston earlier on Sunday.
