Craig Levein recalls Danny Fox for Scotland friendly against Australia

Scotland boss Craig Levein has recalled left back Danny Fox to his squad to face Australia.

The Scots take on the Socceroos at Easter Road in a friendly on Wednesday, August 15.

Levein’s 24-man squad also includes under-21 scoring sensation Jordan Rhodes and fit-again Steven Naismith is also included following his move to Everton.

Fox returns to the set-up for the first time under Levein. The former England Under-21 player made his solitary appearance in dark blue in George Burley’s final game in charge, a humiliating 3-0 defeat to Wales in Cardiff in November 2009.

There is no place in the pool for Craig Gordon, who is carrying a knee injury as he seeks a club since leaving Sunderland, and Rangers full back Lee Wallace also misses out.

Striker Kenny Miller has been omitted to save him travelling after recently completing a move to MLS side Vancouver Whitecaps.
