Kristi Montgomery has made 16 league starts for Blackburn Rovers

Blackburn Rovers midfielder Kristi Montgomery has been called into the Scotland squad for their upcoming Nations League matches.
The 22-year-old has five under-21 caps for Scotland but this is his first senior call-up following injuries to Norwich City's Kenny McLean and Kieran Tierney of Celtic which have forced the duo to withdraw from Sebastien Pocognoli's squad.
Academy graduate Montgomery scored his first goal for Blackburn in a 2-1 Championship defeat by Sheffield United and has started all eight of their league games so far this season.
Scotland face Slovenia twice, Switzerland and North Macedonia in the Nations League during the three-week international break.
