Ryan Porteous, the 27-year-old centre-half, has been recalled to the Scotland squad by manager Sebastien Pocognoli. This follows an injury sustained by Swansea City's Stephen Welsh.
Porteous last played for Scotland in March 2025 against Greece. He has since moved to Major League Soccer, joining Los Angeles in August last year, where he has made 52 appearances.
The player, who previously played for Hibernian and Watford, expressed his determination to make more appearances for his country. He noted the high level of forward players he has faced in Major League Soccer, including a recently retired Argentine superstar, as a factor in his consistent season.
