Scotland manager Steve Clarke has announced his 26-man squad for this summer’s World Cup.
Southampton forward Ross Stewart has earned his first call-up in four years, with the 29-year-old being preferred to the likes of Hellas Verona’s Kieron Bowie.
Findlay Curtis is rewarded for his fine end to his loan spell at Kilmarnock, after the 19-year-old made his debut for the national side in March against Japan.
But there is disappointment for domestic talents such as Hearts’ Harry Milne and Stuart Findlay, Falkirk’s Scott Bain and Calvin Miller, Motherwell’s Stephen Welsh who failed to make the plane, along with surprise omission Lennon Miller of Serie A side Udinese, who made 25 appearances for the Italians last campaign.
