Scotland squad given Covid all clear by English health chiefs as Billy Gilmour is ruled to have no close contacts

Steve Clarke's staff were sweating over Gilmour's postive test but no other players have been picked out for self-isolation and will be free to play Croatia on Tuesday night.

Scotland v Croatia - Euro 2020 preview

Steve Clarke can breathe a sigh of relief after all 25 other members of his Scotland squad were given the all clear following Billy Gilmour's positive Covid test.

Not one of the other stars at Scotland's Rockcliffe Hall Euro 2020 camp have been identified as a close contact by Public Health England.

And as a result it will only be Chelsea playmaker Gilmour who is absent for Tuesday's crunch meeting at Hampden with Croatia.

Clarke and the rest of his coaching staff were left sweating after the news broke of Gilmour's positive case on Monday morning, less than 36 hours before one of the biggest Scotland matches in decades.

Gilmour is now self-isolating back at Rockcliffe Hall but the rest are on their way to Glasgow after a full round of 25 lateral flow tests presented negative results for Covid-19.
