Kieran Tierney has left the Scotland Euro 2024 camp through a hamstring injury.
The Arsenal defender was stretchered off after a nasty knock against Switzerland on Wednesday.
And Scotland assistant John Carver has confirmed Tierney's tournament is over with the player heading back to England for an assessment.
On the cruel injury blow, Carver explained: "He was stretchered off the other night. He's got an issue with his hamstring and as we speak he is heading home to be assessed by Arsenal.

"That is all I can say at the moment."
On Tierney's reaction to the horror blow, Carver added: "He's obviously extremely disappointed.
"If we do progress and move through the tournament I'm sure Kieran will be back to support us. But he's a young lad, he's got plenty of time.
"It's a blow because he's one of our top players and in tournament football you need your best players on the park.

"In particular he gives us great balance down the left hand side, he combines really well with Andy Robertson and Callum McGregor.
"But it's an opportunity for somebody else to step in."
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
