Ryan Christie, Jason Cummings and Paul Hanlon have all been included in the squad for the first time along with Ryan Jack and Graeme Shinnie who have been called up previously.

 

David Marshall has returned from injury after missing the start of the season for Hull City.

 

Cardiff City right back Callum Paterson makes a reappearance having recently made two appearances for Cardiff City.

 

27-year-old Paul Hanlon has been named in the squad for the first time after previously captaining Scotland Under-19s and under-21s.

 

In the midfield Graeme Shinnie and Ryan Jack join Darren Fletcher who comes into the squad on scoring form having notched his first goal for Stoke City at the weekend in a 1-0 win over Watford.

 

Ryan Christie scored for Aberdeen at the weekend in their victory over Ross County on Saturday and he joins former Scotland Under-21s teammate Jason Cummings in the squad.
