Scotland and Norway clash over cancelled training match

Scotland and Norway exchanged accusations after Scotland cancelled a scheduled training match in Charlotte, North Carolina. The Norwegians described Scotland as unprofessional, embarrassing and weak. The Scottish FA said it was surprised by Norway’s stance. Steve Clarke postponed the game on Saturday, citing Billy Gilmour’s injury as a priority. Midfielder John McGinn, who plays for Aston Villa, told the parties to review Scotland’s injury situation. Billy Gilmour was injured in a recent friendly against Curaçao, which rules him out of the World Cup. Both national teams were based in North Carolina for the tournament preparations.
