Scotland 'hopeful' for Miller

Scotland are "very hopeful" that Kenny Miller will be fit to face Iceland on Wednesday night.

Coach Steven Pressley revealed the striker was upbeat over his chances of overcoming a hamstring problem before the crucial World Cup qualifier in Reykjavik.

"Kenny is a slight doubt but he's very positive and we are very hopeful," Pressley said. "We are still unsure about his fitness and we will know more later. Kenny, as always, is positive about his prospects of playing."

Miller missed training on Monday along with full-back Graham Alexander, who suffered a thigh knock during Saturday's 1-0 defeat by Macedonia, but both reported to Glasgow Airport on Tuesday to make the journey.

West Brom midfielder James Morrison has pulled out of the squad however, because of the ankle problem that forced him out of the Skopje clash.

Pressley added: "James Morrison has returned to his club because he is still struggling and we don't want to take any risks.

"He has been a very good performer since he joined the squad. He is an excellent talent who can change a game so it's a disappointment to lose him but I'm sure he will be back in future.

"I think Alexander is okay."
