Goalkeepers: Angus Gunn (Norwich City), Craig Gordon (Heart of Midlothian), Jon McCracken (Dundee).

Defenders: Nicky Devlin (Aberdeen), Anthony Ralston (Celtic), Grant Hanley (Norwich City), Liam Lindsay (Preston North End), Ryan Porteous (Watford), John Souttar (Rangers), Andy Robertson (Liverpool), Greg Taylor (Celtic).

Midfielders: Ryan Christie (Bournemouth), Ryan Gauld (Vancouver Whitecaps), Billy Gilmour, Scott McTominay (both Napoli), Kenny McLean (Norwich City), Andy Irving (West Ham United).

Forwards: Ben Doak (Middlesbrough), James Forrest (Celtic), Lewis Morgan (New York Red Bulls), Che Adams (Torino), Lyndon Dykes (Birmingham City), Lawrence Shankland (Heart of Midlothian).


McGinn and McKenna are missing; first-time call-ups for Devlin, Lindsay (ex-Partick Thistle) and Irving.

Irving played for Hearts, mainly in the season when they won the Championship, then spent two seasons in Germany and Austria before joining West Ham. He`s a left-sided midfielder.

Andy Irving is an interesting one - I`ll be honest I`d never heard of him, but he`s had an interesting career path. Good on him.

I`d love to see some alternatives to Ralston and Hanley at the back, but knowing Steve Clark it will just be the status quo 😔

He`s brought in Devlin and Lindsay. It`s unlikely they will go straight into the starting XI but at least he`s giving them a chance.

Kevin Nisbet is back in the squad to replace the injured Shankland.

Quite possibly the weakest Scotland squad that I have seen for a number of years

Id agree its pretty weak from pre euros squads. A lot of injuries hampering that though this time round.

In fairness we have been punching above our weight in terms of getting the most out of the plyers we have.

The u21s squad is a shambles and has been for a while so it`s hard to judge the potential of the players we have coming through to take over the players who at the world cup (if we get there ) will be playing their swan song tournament.

c'mon the pars

To be fair the under 21s are second in their qualifying section behind Spain after 8 games.We are above Belgium and Hungary having beaten both in the last year.We lost 2-1 to Spain(Mebude`s brother scored),so it can`t all be doom and gloom?

Weird that folk are annoyed we`re struggling in the top section. This was always going to be the case. Wales got found out. England got relegated.

Again though we have drawn a fairly favourable group. But injuries and daft decisions have cost us so far I fear. I also feel that Clarkes time was up after the Euros, despite all the good he has done for the national side, he should have gone after that dismal showing.

Cant see much hope over these 2 games with the squad and replacements named. Just one of those things I guess and if we do pick up points will be a great result.

The Euros performance has scunnered people. Not so much the nations league. Clarke should have left after we flew home from Germany.
