Gauld called up for Scotland 10 years after last inclusion as experienced trio out

Steve Clarke has named his Scotland squad for the Nations League matches against Poland and Portugal.

The Hampden boss has drafted Ryan Gauld back into the set-up ten years after his only call-up with Ben Doak also returning to the squad after missing Euro 2024.

Uncapped duo Robby McCrorie and Max Johnston have also been called up by Clarke with Callum McGregor the notable absentee after he retired from international football.

Lyndon Dykes is back in the mix after injury but Stuart Armstrong, Liam Cooper and Ryan Jack have been left out of the squad as they look for new clubs.

Meanwhile, Clarke has also confirmed a staff change with Alan Irvine joining the backroom team in place of James Morrison.
