Scotland boss Steve Clarke says he took Billy Gilmour off in Sunday's win over Luxembourg as a precaution.

The Chelsea midfielder came on in the second-half and looked impressive before a heavy challenge forced Clarke to make a substitution.

It was feared Gilmour had suffered a bad injury, but Clarke says that wasn't the case.

Clarke told Sky Sports: "We took him off as a precaution, the medics will assess him but he seemed fine when he was off the pitch.

"He was disappointed to be off but (we'll be) ultra-cautious and the medics will assess him.

"But everything looks OK for now."

Scotland eventually won the match 1-0 thanks to a goal from Southampton striker Che Adams.

The Tartan Army will face Czech Republic in their first group game at Euro 2020 this coming Sunday.
