Scotland winger Ben Gannon-Doak faces a lengthy spell out after being taken off on a stretcher during Tuesday's World Cup place-clinching win over Denmark.

The Bournemouth 20-year-old set up Scott McTominay's overhead kick opener at Hampden but went down injured and left the field in the 21st minute.

Cherries manager Andoni Iraol described Gannon-Doak's problem as a "big hamstring injury" that may require surgery and he expects the Scot to be out for months.

Gannon-Doak joined Bournemouth from Liverpool in August and has made six appearances for the Premier League side.

He was winning his 11th Scotland cap against the Danes and had scored his first senior international goal in the previous match against Greece.

After securing a place at next summer's finals, Steve Clarke's Scots have no fixtures scheduled but are likely to have a series of friendly matches before next summer.
