Familiar faces back for Scotland in Nations League

Scotland welcome back a host of regulars, including vice-captain John McGinn, for Nations League matches against Croatia and Poland.

Scott McKenna, Jack Hendry, Greg Taylor, Lawrence Shankland and Tommy Conway also return.

There is a first selection for Ipswich Town goalkeeper Cieran Slicker, who has 17 caps at under-21 level, and uncapped Rangers midfielder Connor Barron retains his place after a late call up for the 0-0 draw at home to Portugal.

Che Adams is included despite limping out of Torino’s defeat by Fiorentina on Sunday.

Croatia visit Hampden on 15 November, with the campaign ending in Warsaw three days later.

Scotland prop up Group A1 with one point from four matches, three behind Poland who won 3-2 in Glasgow in the the opening round of games.

Croatia beat Scotland 2-1 in Zagreb last month.

James Forrest drops out, along with Liam Lindsay, Andy Irving, Jon McCracken and Jack MacKenzie, who was another late call for the October matches.

Kieran Tierney, Aaron Hickey, Angus Gunn and Kevin Nisbet are currently out with injuries.

Lewis Ferguson is not included, having only just returned to the Bologna first team after a six-month lay-off.

The same applies for Nathan Patterson, who is back in the Everton squad but yet to feature this season.
