Scotland head coach Steve Clarke says Ipswich striker George Hirst could still play a part in the Nations League play-off with Greece after a delay in formalising his call up stopped him from being named in the initial squad.

The 26-year-old has played 19 times for the Premier League side this season, mainly as a substitute, scoring three times.

"It's possible - there was a delay in the paperwork," Clarke said when asked about the England-born striker's involvement.

"There's still games to go before we meet up as a squad. There's always the chance of somebody else getting injured.

"Hopefully not, because I think we've suffered enough of that. George is somebody we've had in mind for a few months. I've watched him recently.

"He's in and out of the Ipswich team, played the cup games. He obviously scored against Forest. I think I was spotted on the telly at the game.

"It didn't take a genius to work out who I was there to watch, because he was the only one that qualified for Scotland who was on the pitch.

"He's a player that would help to give us more depth to that position if we can do it."
