Five Scotland players have pulled out of the squad for their final European Qualifier against Gibraltar on Sunday.

Leigh Griffiths, James McArthur, James Morrison, Charlie Mulgrew and Jordan Rhodes will all miss the dead rubber in Faro.

Griffiths, Rhodes and McArthur were all on the bench for the home draw with Poland that left the Scots unable to qualify for the finals, McArthur coming on for the final 16 minutes.

Mulgrew missed that game with a thigh injury, while Morrison was suspended and carrying a knock from West Brom's defeat at Crystal Palace.
