Czech Republic squad for Scotland clash revealed as 36-year-old defender earns recall

Czech Republic have named their squad to face Scotland in the Nations League after their coronavirus nightmare.

The game in Prague will see U18 manager David Holoubek take charge after they had to replace their whole squad because of COVID-19 restrictions.

The Czech side had originally tried to cancel the game before being urged to play by UEFA and that left Scotland raging after it was initially announced on Twitter.

And now Holoubek has named his squad, including 36-year-old defender Roman Hubnik, who has earned 23-caps for his country.

The last of those came in 2016, although he did score against Scotland in 2010 during Euro 2012 qualifying.

And he said: “I was packing and it never occurred to me that I would be at the national team meeting. We didn't just come to play that match, we are able to make a good result here."

Goalkeepers: Filip Nguyen, Aleš Mandous, Jakub Markovič

Defenders: Jan Juroška, Roman Hubník, Ondřej Karafiát, Václav Jemelka, Daniel Holzer, Jaroslav Zelený, Šimon Gabriel, Tomáš Holeš

Midfielders: Adam Jánoš, Radim Breite, Adam Karabec, Marek Havlík, Tomáš Malínský, Roman Potočný, Lukáš Budínský, Jakub Pešek, Tomáš Solil, Jáchym Šíp

Forward: Stanislav Tecl, Antonín Růsek

Steve Clarke's men take on Czech Republic on Monday night, hoping to get back to winning ways after a 1-1 draw with Israel on Friday night.

Ryan Christie scored from the penalty spot at Hampden in that game.
