Alan Hutton will not play in Scotland's crucial World Cup qualifier with Holland, according to his club manager, Harry Redknapp.

Redknapp, the Tottenham manager, claims his Scotland counterpart George Burley has told him he instead plans to use the fit-again right-back against Iceland four days later at Hampden Park on 1 April.

A foot injury has kept Hutton, 24, out of action since November's glamour friendly against Argentina but he is set to make his Spurs comeback in their reserve match against West Brom next Monday.

Burley had said that the door was not closed on Hutton playing a week tomorrow in Amsterdam but this morning Redknapp told the Scottish Sun: "I spoke to George and he will not play Alan against Holland. He does not plan on using Alan in that one.

"I believe that he's looking for him to play a part against Iceland instead. Alan's first game is for the reserves on Monday. He's got to get through that first.

"But George will watch him in training and see if he's fine. George isn't a fool. I don't know how much of either game he can play – but I'd be surprised if George pitched him in against Holland."

Hutton, however, insisted he would have no fears playing, saying in the Daily Record: "I have no problems about going to Holland because I want to play in games like these.

"Hopefully, the manager will see enough to justify my inclusion and I won't let myself or anyone down.

"I think my rehab has gone really well. It was so frustrating when I came back from injury too quickly the last time and it didn't work out for me. But my fitness is now fine."
