Scotland have picked a 28-man provisional team for Euro 2024, including Liverpool teenager Ben Doak.
Head coach Steve Clarke has had to cope with major injuries, which has delayed his squad announcement on Wednesday, with key players like as Lewis Ferguson, Nathan Patterson, and Aaron Hickey already out.
Liverpool ace Doak, 18, has been picked despite not playing since December due to injury, and he has yet to appear for Scotland’s senior team. According To Talksports.
There were berths for Norwich’s Grant Hanley and Copenhagen’s Scott McKenna, who returned to action for their respective teams before the season concluded, giving Scotland a significant boost at the back.
Andy Robertson, Liverpool’s and Scotland’s captain, has also been nominated, and he will be anxious to stay healthy after a season marred by injuries.
After Ferguson, who led Bologna to the Champions League this season in Serie A, tragically broke his anterior cruciate ligament, sidelining him for an extended period of time, the return of Stuart Armstrong brought Clarke some good news.
The Southampton star scared the Tartan Army when he was stretchered off last month, but he has been picked to the group that will go to Germany this summer.
McTominay, John McGinn, and Billy Gilmour, all from the Premier League, have all been picked to provide Clarke with midfield options.
Che Adams and Lyndon Dykes, Scotland’s strikers throughout the Euro qualifiers, are also on the plane.
There were also slots for two players at opposing ends of their careers, with 41-year-old Craig Gordon unexpectedly included after being chosen to the March squad.
