McArthur in for crocked Brown

Wigan midfielder James McArthur has been called into the Scotland squad for Wednesday's friendly against Slovenia after Celtic captain Scott Brown pulled out with a groin injury.

Blackpool winger Matt Phillips and Sunderland full-back Phil Bardsley are both doubtful for the trip.

Phillips has arrived at the Scotland camp to have his hamstring injury assessed, the Scottish Football Association confirmed on their Twitter account.
