Celtic left-back Kieran Tierney has withdrawn from the Scotland squad for the upcoming Nations League fixtures after suffering a setback. Tierney started Sunday's derby match against Rangers but was substituted in the second half. Celtic manager Martin O'Neill will hope the international break provides enough recovery time before domestic action resumes.

Celtic has not confirmed the exact nature of Tierney's injury or how long he will be unavailable.
