Charlie Mulgrew called up to Scotland squad for England World Cup qualifier

Blackburn Rovers' Charlie Mulgrew has been called up to the Scotland squad for Friday's World Cup qualifier against England.

The 30-year-old was initially left out of Gordon Strachan's squad due to fitness concerns, but today, the Scottish FA announced that Mulgrew has joined the party.

Scotland will go head to head with England at Wembley on November 11.
