Ché Adams and Kevin Nisbet are included in Steve Clarke’s squad for the first time as Scotland prepare to begin their FIFA World Cup Qualification campaign.

Adams has been in fine form for Southampton this season, scoring seven goals and providing four assists in 28 appearances, with Nisbet also starring up front – the 24-year-old is the second top-scorer in the Scottish Premiership with 12 goals for Hibernian this season.

Grant Hanley and Jack Hendry return to the fold, with the latter being selected for the first time by Clarke after impressing on loan with KV Oostende in Belgium.

John Fleck is back in Clarke’s squad after returning from an injury which saw him miss out on a place in the squad in the final international window of 2020.
