INVERNESS Caledonian Thistle midfielder Ian Black has been called into the Scotland squad for tomorrow night's B international against Northern Ireland at Broadwood.
The 24-year-old, who will join Hearts this summer after signing a pre-contract agreement with the Tynecastle club earlier this season, has been selected after fears over the fitness of West Bromwich Albion's Graham Dorrans.
Black played for Scotland B in the 2005 Future Cup.
Another late call-up to face Northern Ireland is Livingston striker Leigh Griffiths. It caps an impressive week for Griffiths, who was named the PFA Scotland First Division Player of the Year on Sunday night.
Dorrans is nursing a foot injury which forced him to sit out West Brom's Premier League defeat at Tottenham on Saturday. Celtic defender Mark Wilson has already withdrawn from the Scotland squad.
