Scott McTominay, Kieran Tierney, and Che Adams have all returned to the Scotland squad for the upcoming Nations League matches against North Macedonia and Switzerland. This squad also sees the first call-up for James Penrice, while Kristi Montgomery, who was a late addition last time, retains his place.

Injuries have sidelined Scott McKenna and Kenny McLean, and as a result, Lennon Miller, Josh Doig, Colby Donovan, and James Wilson have dropped out of the squad.

Head coach Sebastien Pocognoli has opted for an extended pool of 28 players for the initial four matches, which included disappointing home defeats to Switzerland and Slovenia. For the upcoming fixtures, he has narrowed the squad down to 26, maintaining four goalkeepers.

Currently, Scotland sits third in Group B1 and needs at least four points from these matches to have a chance at finishing second and securing a spot in the promotion play-offs. Conversely, one point would prevent relegation.

Switzerland leads the group with maximum points, while Slovenia is three points ahead of Scotland.

James Penrice, 27, has been a standout performer for Rangers since joining on loan from AEK Athens, and Kristi Montgomery, 22, has been a consistent presence in the Championship, starting nearly every match this season.

Scott McTominay, who plays for Napoli, has netted four goals in seven appearances since recovering from a minor heart procedure. Che Adams has also been in form, scoring twice in five Serie A matches after recovering from an adductor injury.

In a notable milestone, Andy Robertson is set to surpass Sir Kenny Dalglish's record of 102 caps if he features in both matches on November 13 and 16.
