Aberdeen midfielder Lewis Ferguson could win his first Scotland cap after being called up by Steve Clarke for their upcoming World Cup qualifiers.

The 22-year old has featured regularly for the under-21 squad and now makes the step up to the senior side.

Manchester United's Scott McTominay has missed out on a call-up.

He missed his club's last fixture through injury and won't be fit for the national team.
