Scott McTominay, Kieran Tierney, and Che Adams have been included in the Scotland squad for the team's remaining Nations League matches at home against North Macedonia and away to Switzerland. James Penrice has received his first call-up to the national team.
Kristi Montgomery, who was a late addition to the squad previously, retains his place. However, Scott McKenna and Kenny McLean will miss out due to injury. Lennon Miller, Josh Doig, Colby Donovan, and James Wilson have been dropped from the extended squad.
Head coach Sebastien Pocognoli has selected 26 players for these fixtures, maintaining four goalkeepers. Scotland is currently third in Group B1 and needs a minimum of four points from these matches to have a chance of finishing second and qualifying for the promotion play-offs. A single point would be enough to avoid relegation.
Switzerland leads the group with maximum points, and Slovenia is three points ahead of Scotland.
Penrice, a 27-year-old left-back, has been a notable performer for Rangers since joining on loan from AEK Athens. Midfielder Montgomery, 22, has been a consistent starter for Blackburn Rovers in the Championship this season.
Napoli midfielder McTominay has scored four goals in seven appearances after recovering from a minor heart procedure. Adams has found form for Torino, doubling his season's tally with two goals in five Serie A games following a brief layoff due to an adductor issue.
