McAvennie couldn’t believe Carter-Vickers was ruled out.
“I was surprised because Carter-Vickers was different,” He said football insider.
“He’s one of the best on the team. People keep forgetting that Scotland has a lot of good players and a lot of talent. He stuck his head over the railing.
“Ange will be happy because there are a few games coming up. But that doesn’t sit well with the rest of Scottish football.“
