Steve Clarke has named his Scotland squad for the Nations League triple-header with Republic of Ireland and Ukraine with Hibs stopper Ryan Porteous included.
The Easter Road defender has featured in ten games in all competitions so far this campaign for Lee Johnson's side and his form has been recognised by the national team boss. Skipper Andy Robertson is the headline absentee with Liverpool boss Jurgen Klopp confirmed he would miss club matches with Ajax and Chelsea and would not be available until after the international break.
Scotland face three huge games in the space of six days in their bid to end League B Group 1 in top position. First up is Ukraine at Hampden next Wednesday before Ireland arrive on the Saturday. It's then the return showdown with Ukraine on Tuesday, 27 September to round off the section. So far Clarke and Co have six points from a possible nine.
