Tyler Fletcher has been called up to Scotland's World Cup squad to replace the injured Billy Gilmour.

Scotland beat Curacao 4-1 on Saturday at Hampden Park, but their preparations for their first World Cup finals campaign since 1998 took a hit as Gilmour sustained a knee injury.

It was subsequently confirmed that the Napoli midfielder would miss the World Cup.

Steve Clarke had several options at his disposal, but it is 19-year-old Fletcher, son of former Manchester United midfielder Darren, who has been given the nod.

Following the news of Billy Gilmour's injury we can confirm that 19-year-old Tyler Fletcher has been added to our @FIFAWorldCup squad after making his debut against Curaçao yesterday.

The 19-year-old made his Scotland debut against Curacao, with Clarke having been impressed.

Fletcher's debut came eight years and 234 days after his father made his final appearance for Scotland. The youngster had 42 touches and registered an 86.2% pass accuracy.

He has made two appearances for United this season but has played more minutes for his country than his club.

Fletcher may get another chance to impress Clarke when Scotland face Bolivia in a friendly next week, before they take on Haiti in their World Cup opener on June 14.
