Three Hoops players – Callum McGregor, Ryan Christie and James Forrest – are in the national squad for the Hampden Park double header against Russia and Belgium.

Callum McGregor of Scotland looks on prior to the FIFA 2018 World Cup  Group F Qualifier between Scotland and Slovakia at Hampden Park on October 5, 2017 in Glasgow, Scotland.

A number of Celtic fans have taken to Twitter to give their thoughts on the Hoops players called up for Scotland duty in the upcoming international break, with the treble Treble winners hailing them on social media.

Steve Clarke has named Parkhead trio Callum McGregor, Ryan Christie and James Forrest in his squad for the Euro 2020 qualifying double header against Russia and Belgium at Hampden Park (Sky Sports News).

Two notable Bhoys omissions were Mikey Johnston, who has enjoyed a bright start to the season under Neil Lennon but will instead link up with the Under-21s, and Leigh Griffiths, who is being given more time to settle back at Celtic following his return from time out of the game.

Here is what some Celtic fans said on social media regarding the Scotland call-ups from their club:

Former Kilmarnock boss Steve Clarke has named a 24-man squad including West Ham midfielder Robert Snodgrass, who has not featured for the national side since September 2018.

Defenders Grant Hanley and Liam Cooper have been recalled, Portsmouth goalkeeper Craig MacGillivray has earned his first call-up, captain Andy Robertson is back in the side after missing Scotland’s 3-0 defeat to Belgium in June, and there is no place for Scott McKenna who misses out through injury.

Scotland sit fourth in Group I after four matches and are still to play Russia twice, plus Belgium at home.
