Scotland begin their qualifying campaign against Cyprus on Saturday, 25 March before hosting Spain three days later.

Goalkeeper Angus Gunn has been named in the 23-man squad for his first Scotland call-up. He will compete with Liam Kelly and Zander Clark for a starting spot in goal, with Craig Gordon missing out as he continues his recovery from injury.

Scotland are boosted by the return of Callum McGregor, who missed November's friendly against Turkiye through injury. The midfielder is in line to win his 50th cap against Cyprus.

Full-back Aaron Hickey is also back after missing that match, while Nathan Patterson has recovered from an injury to bolster the defence.

Lyndon Dykes takes his place in the squad having recently returned for Queens Park Rangers after recovering from illness.

The Cyprus match will represent Scotland’s first competitive test since securing a hard-fought 0-0 draw in Ukraine to top their Nations League group in September.

While the Spain match is a sell-out, there are limited tickets remaining for the Cyprus match. They can be purchased here.
