Stoke City centre-half Luke Graham and Sevilla striker Robbie Ure are poised to make their first full appearances for Scotland as head coach Sebastien Pocognoli announces his inaugural squad.

Luke Graham, who shone during a breakthrough season with Dundee, received recognition at the club by winning both the players' player and young player of the year awards. The 22-year-old participated in Scotland's pre-World Cup training camp in May and was an unused substitute during the recent send-off friendly against Curacao, which marked Steve Clarke's final match at Hampden Park. Graham has been a key player for The Potters, contributing to their unbeaten streak in the Championship over the last four games.

On the other hand, Robbie Ure, also 22, made headlines with a stellar performance at Sirius, netting 20 goals and providing three assists in 20 matches, helping the team secure the top position in Sweden. His impressive form led to a £5.5m transfer to Sevilla. Although Ure has yet to score in La Liga, his eligibility for Ukraine has prompted Pocognoli to include him in the squad as a priority.

Since taking over from Clarke, Pocognoli aims to rejuvenate an ageing team. Wouter Vrancken, head coach of Heart of Midlothian, expressed confidence in the inclusion of some of his players, particularly the attacking trio of James Wilson, Calvin Miller, and Josh McPake, who have been instrumental in their team's strong start to the season.

Pocognoli's debut as head coach will occur on Saturday, 26 September, against Slovenia in the Nations League B opener, followed by a match against Switzerland three days later.
