SCOTLAND manager Craig Levein’s preparations for the upcoming friendly against Cyprus were thrown into disarray last night as six crocked stars pulled out.

Premiership performers Charlie Adam (knee), Graham Dorrans (ankle), Alan Hutton (knee) and Russell Martin (ankle) have all withdrawn from the squad to face the Cypriots in Larnaca on Friday.

And Rangers full-back Lee Wallace - who limped from the field during his club’s 3-1 weekend win over Dundee United - misses out with a thigh strain.

Cardiff goalkeeper David Marshall is absent through illness, prompting Levein to draft in St Mirren shot-stopper Craig Samson.
