Brown Recalled to Scotland Squad

Jacob Brown has been recalled for Scotland’s Euro 2024 qualifier against Spain and friendly against France. 

Brown was dropped from last month’s squad following his move from Stoke to Luton this summer but has been recalled in place of Lawrence Shankland, who has been omitted from the squad.

Newcastle’s Elliott Anderson has been left out of this month’s midfield selection after he withdrew from the squad last month, ahead of their trip to Cyprus just days after he joined up with the team, as manager – Steve Clarke otherwise named an unchanged lineup.

Kieran Tierney has been dropped in defence with Celtic’s Greg Taylor recalled to the squad, after he was dropped for last month’s win away to Cyprus and friendly loss to England.

Zander Clark, Angus Gunn and Liam Kelly have all been retained in Clarke’s goalkeeping selection.

Scotland can secure qualification for UEFA Euro 2024 with victory in their away qualifier against Spain in Seville on 12 October (7:45pm UK Time), before they take on France in Lille in a friendly on 17 October.
