Steve Clarke has made four changes to his Scotland squad for Nations League fixtures against Croatia and Portugal.
John McGinn’s hamstring injury has ruled him out of this month’s international window, which led Clarke to name Andy Irving as his replacement in midfield.
In goal, Craig Gordon has been recalled in place of his Hearts teammate, Zander Clark, whilst Dundee’s 24 year-old shot-stopper, Jon McCracken has replaced Robby McCrorie.
Sturm Graz’s Max Johnston has been dropped in defence for Aberdeen’s 30 year-old uncapped debutant, Nicky Devlin.
Las Palmas’ Scott McKenna has also missed out in defence.
Middlesbrough’s Tommy Conway has been omitted in attack as Clarke opted for a three-man forward selection of; Che Adams, Lyndon Dykes and Lawrence Shankland.
