Blackburn Rovers' Charlie Mulgrew has been called up to the Scotland squad for Friday's World Cup qualifier against England.

The 30-year-old was initially left out of Gordon Strachan's squad due to fitness concerns, but today, the Scottish FA announced that Mulgrew has joined the party.

Mulgrew has struggled with injury of late, but made his return to action on October 18 in Blackburn's 2-1 victory over Nottingham Forest in the Championship.

Scotland will go head to head with England at Wembley on November 11.
