Gordon Strachan hands Hull City's Shaun Maloney a Scotland recall

Shaun Maloney has earned a Scotland recall for the World Cup qualifiers against Lithuania and Slovakia.

The Hull midfielder was left out of the squad for the opening win against Malta because of a lack of game time, but he is back in for Fulham's Kevin McDonald.

Maloney has made two EFL Cup starts and three Premier League substitute appearances this season, while McDonald was immediately back in the Fulham team after withdrawing from the squad ahead of the 5-1 victory over Malta.
