Sebastien Pocognoli is set to unveil his inaugural Scotland squad on Tuesday, marking his first selection since being appointed head coach. The squad will compete in upcoming Nations League B fixtures against Slovenia, Switzerland, and North Macedonia.
Pocognoli's predecessor, Steve Clarke, was known for prioritising consistency during his seven-year tenure. However, supporters often called for new players, a sentiment that could now be addressed by the new Belgian coach.
Among the potential call-ups, Liam McFarlane, a 21-year-old on loan at Partick Thistle, is considered a strong candidate for a third-choice goalkeeping spot. In defence, Stephen Welsh, who has impressed at Swansea, and Luis Binks, captain of Danish side Brondby, are also being discussed. Colby Donovan, a 20-year-old Celtic right-back, is also in contention.
In midfield, Billy Gilmour is almost certain to be included after recovering from a knee injury. He recently played the full duration of Napoli's Champions League match against Arsenal. Josh Mulligan of Hibernian, who impressed Pocognoli in a recent Edinburgh derby, could also be in line for a call-up.
