Steve Clarke has revealed discussions over national team call-ups for Harvey Barnes and Elliot Anderson are "not a conversation" for him going forward.
The national team boss has previously pitched the opportunity to train with Scotland to both players, however, neither has pulled on the dark blue.
Instead, Anderson joined the squad for training ahead of the match against Cyprus before pulling out days later.
Now, after qualifying for Euro 2024, Clarke was again quizzed on potential to draft the duo into the Scotland fold. But he stopped the conversation after defeat to France, instead hailing his already impressive Scotland pool.
On possible additions, he told the Scottish Sun: “You’re always looking. But everyone’s always trying to get me to pick other people.
“I like the squad I’ve got. I like what they give me and what they give their country.
“I like the fact they turn up every time and sometimes they don’t get minutes on the pitch and yet they still come and they still support the rest of the lads.
“So I like what I have. But I’m never going to close my eyes and ears to something or someone that might improve us in the future.”
Further pressed on Anderson and Barnes' chances at joining the Scotland squad, Clarke replied: “It’s not a conversation for now.
“Barnes is out for three months. He’s injured.
“That’s not a conversation for tonight. It’s not really a conversation for me going forward.
“Like I say, I like the squad I’ve got. I don’t close my eyes and my ears to possible additions, but we will see what happens.”
