Scotland have named their squad for the remaining Nations League matches at home to North Macedonia and away to Switzerland. Scott McTominay, Kieran Tierney and Che Adams return, while James Penrice has received a first call-up.
Returns and a first call-up
McTominay, Tierney and Adams are back in the Scotland squad. Penrice, 27, has received a first call-up and has been with Rangers on loan from AEK Athens.
Uncapped Kristi Montgomery retains his place after being a late addition last time. The 22-year-old Blackburn Rovers midfielder has started all but one Championship match this season.
Injuries and omissions
Scott McKenna and Kenny McLean miss out through injury. Lennon Miller, Josh Doig, Colby Donovan and James Wilson dropped out.
Head coach Sebastien Pocognoli has gone with 26, sticking with four goalkeepers.
Group B1 situation
Scotland are third in Group B1. They require a minimum of four points to have any chance of finishing second to feature in the promotion play-offs.
One point would stave off any threat of relegation. Switzerland are on maximum points and Slovenia are three points ahead of Scotland.
Form and a caps record
McTominay has scored four goals in seven outings since recovering from a minor heart procedure. Adams has scored two goals in five Serie A games after a brief lay off with an adductor issue.
Andy Robertson will surpass Sir Kenny Dalglish's record of 102 caps should he feature in both matches on 13 November and 16 November.
