UEFA Nations League A Group 1 Scotland v Portugal Hampden Park, Glasgow Tuesday, 15 October 2024, kick-off 7.45pm
There are three new faces in the squad that Steve Clarke has named for the upcoming UEFA Nations League double header against Croatia and Portugal, with Nicky Devlin, Liam Lindsay and Andy Irving all receiving their first call-ups.
Aberdeen defender Devlin and Preston North End defender Lindsay have both been ever-present for their clubs this season, while midfielder Irving recently made his debut for West Ham United.
There is also a return to the squad for striker Che Adams, who missed the matches against Poland and Portugal in September through injury.
Celtic duo Greg Taylor and James Forrest are named in the squad after missing out through injury last time around, while goalkeeper Craig Gordon - who won his 75th Scotland cap in June - is also back.
Uncapped Dundee goalkeeper Jon McCracken has retained his place after receiving his first call-up last month.
Scotland vice-captain John McGinn is ruled out however, with Scott McKenna and Tommy Conway, who also featured in the two matches last month, absent through injury as well.
Assistant coach Austin MacPhee has left Steve Clarke’s coaching setup, stepping back from his role as set-piece specialist due to family circumstances.
