Scotland boss Gordon Strachan planning to use full depth of squad

Scotland manager Gordon Strachan admits that he wants to use his full squad for their upcoming games against Northern Ireland and Gibraltar.

Scotland manager Gordon Strachan has revealed that he will try to utilise his whole squad in their upcoming games against Northern Ireland and Gibraltar.

The Scots host Ireland in a friendly on Wednesday before continuing their Euro 2016 qualifying campaign at home to Gibraltar on Sunday.

Strachan admits that he is eager to give everyone some game time over the next week.

"Over the two games, I'm hoping to get everybody some time on the pitch," he told BBC Sport. "At this stage of the season we need to make sure we send everyone back to their clubs as fit as they were when they came. That's a hard balancing act. We want to send them back positive as well."

Scotland have enjoyed a strong start to Euro 2016 qualifying, putting them in third place in the Group D table.
