Steve Clarke has named his Scotland squad for the start of the 2026 World Cup qualifying campaign.
Scotland hope to make the finals of the tournament which will be held in the United States of America, Mexico and Canada next summer.
The national team haven't participated at a World Cup since France '98.
And Clarke will be aiming to put that right, as he aims to rebuild the positivity that once surrounded his tenure as head coach from the twice Scotland reached the Euros in recent years.

Scotland start their qualifiers against Denmark in Copenhagen on Friday, September 5.
They will then take on Belarus in Zalaegerszeg, Hungary, with UEFA forcing Balrus to play their games at neutral venues due to sanctions imposed due to the country's support of Russia following the invasion of Ukraine.
Aaron Hickey is back in the squad with the Brentford defender back available after nearly two years out with injury.
Ben Gannon Doak is also included having previously missed out in the June friendlies.
