Ryan Fraser has earned his first international call-up in almost a year ahead of Scotland's latest round of Nations League fixtures. The Newcastle United winger had been overlooked for the last two squads after his controversial decision to withdraw in November last year.
Fraser has been named in the 25-man squad for the Nations League clash with Republic of Ireland and two encounters with Ukraine. The former Bournemouth star will now be hoping to add to his 22 caps, having seemingly been frozen out of the fold by Steve Clarke not so long ago.
The Scotland boss did not hide his displeasure when Fraser withdrew from international duty in November last year citing a calf injury, only to be pictured in training with the Magpies. Clarke hinted the 28-year-old would likely not receive another call-up anytime soon as a result.
