Scotland coach Stuart McCall has eased fears about Gordon Greer's fitness for the World Cup qualifier against Croatia in Zagreb on Friday.

The Albion skipper has been sufering with tonsillitis.

But McCall said: ''Gordon Greer is coming up. He has had a little bit of tonsillitis but he will join up with the squad.''

McCall is well aware of the size of task facing an inexperienced squad against a team sitting joint top of the group.

But he is hopeful the Scots can give a good account of themselves in Zagreb.

He added: ''Everyone is looking fine and raring to go.

''We are just trying to formulate a system and a shape that will suit the players that we've got.

''We are under no illusions that Croatia is a difficult place to go.

''But we've got to go there with a game plan, where we can be difficult to play against.''
