Alex McLeish picks six new faces for Scotland
In total the Scotland boss has chosen nine uncapped players
Last updated 12th Mar 2018
Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay was one of six players given their first Scotland call-ups as manager Alex McLeish named the debut squad of his second spell in charge.
Hearts goalkeeper Jon McLaughlin, Hibernian midfielder Dylan McGeouch and Aberdeen defender Scott McKenna will all be looking for their first cap.
Scott McTominay, Barnsley striker Oli McBurnie, Wolves left-back Barry Douglas also all feature for the first time.
McLeish has also selected three more uncapped players for the friendlies against Costa Rica and Hungary later this month - Millwall goalkeeper Jordan Archer, Rangers winger Jamie Murphy and Fulham midfielder Kevin McDonald
McLeish was unable to select a number of experienced players through injury, including Craig Gordon, James Morrison, Barry Bannan and Steven Fletcher, but others have failed to make the pool, including Robert Snodgrass and Darren Fletcher.
"It is a fresh start,'' McLeish said. "There's a couple of the experienced players not in the squad but I know what they can do. I want to have a look at some other players.
"It's a couple of friendly games, it doesn't mean we will play friendly, but I certainly want to look at players who have been doing well for their clubs.
"We want them to play the way they have been playing for their clubs and try and challenge themselves to become even better.''
McLeish confirmed McGeouch made a "late run'' into the squad after watching the former Celtic player shine in Hibs' victory over Hearts on Friday.
"The next step is the guys prove it,'' he added. "They have to now show they can live with other international teams, improve their game and see if they can raise the bar to the highest level they can possibly go.'
