Rangers pair Kris Boyd and Lee McCulloch have returned to the Scotland reckoning for next week's friendly with Czech Republic, but there is no place in Craig Levein's first squad for Barry Ferguson or Allan McGregor.

Boyd and McCulloch had both declared themselves unavailable for selection during former manager George's Burley's ill-fated reign.

Birmingham City midfielder Ferguson and Rangers goalkeeper McGregor were also expected to be recalled to the fold following Levein's appointment as manager.

Both players were involved in the 'Boozegate' affair during Burley's tenure, with Ferguson axed as captain following a late-night drinking episode.

However, McGregor's omission comes on the same day that Rangers confirmed he had been involved in an "incident" in Glasgow city centre which required hospital treatment.

Reports claim that the goalkeeper could miss Sunday's Old Firm derby with an eye injury.

Scotland squad:

Alexander (Rangers), Gordon (Sunderland), Marshall (Cardiff City); Hutton (Sunderland), Berra (Wolves), Caldwell (Wigan), Dixon (Dundee United), Kenneth (Dundee United), Wallace (Hearts), Webster (Dundee United) Whittaker (Rangers); Adam (Blackpool), Brown (Celtic), Dorrans (West Brom), Fletcher (Manchester United), Hartley (Bristol City), McCulloch (Rangers), McFadden (Birmingham), Robson (Middlesbrough), Thomson (Rangers); Boyd (Rangers), Fletcher (Burnley), Iwelumo (Bristol City), Miller (Rangers).
