The Leeds United captain has starred in this season’s Championship.
Bob Malcolm has questioned why Leeds United’s Liam Cooper has not been included in Scotland’s latest squad.
Cooper has captained Leeds to the top of the Championship table ahead of Wednesday’s round of fixtures – and is, according to WhoScored.com, the division’s standout performer statistically.
Included instead are the inexperienced trio of Scott McKenna, John Souttar and Jack Hendry, and the veteran Charlie Mulgrew.
Malcolm, who like Cooper was only capped by Scotland at youth level, posted the following on Twitter:
And the former Rangers and Derby County player is not the only one who thinks Cooper – who has been named in senior squads before – was unfairly overlooked…
Cooper is the current captain of Leeds, whom he joined from Chesterfield in 2014.
But the Hull-born 27-year-old has not always been flavour of the month with fans of the Yorkshire side.
Should Alex McLeish have called up the Leeds United star?
