Steve Clarke names Scotland side to face Poland as he makes huge Ben Doak call

Steve Clarke has named his Scotland side to face Poland in the UEFA Nations League.

The Hampden boss has made TWO changes from the team which beat Croatia on Friday night.

Much had been made of Clarke's comments on Ben Doak ahead of the match against Poland, where he stated that he would keep the winger's "feet on the ground" and suggested that he wanted to protect the Celtic youth graduate. 

Despite that, the Liverpool youngster has kept his spot in the team for this crunch fixture at Stadion Naradowy.

Craig Gordon starts in goal with a defence consisting of Andy Robertson, John Souttar, Grant Hanley, and Anthony Ralston.

In midfield, Scott McTominay partners Billy Gilmour and Kenny McLean. 

Doak and John McGinn will support Lyndon Dykes, who leads the line up front.
