Steve Clarke names Scotland squad for upcoming World Cup qualifiers

Steve Clarke has named his Scotland squad for the upcoming October international break.

The Scots will host both Greece and Belarus in the next wave of World Cup qualifiers.

Scotland got their qualification campaign for next summer's major finals in the United States, Mexico and Canada off to a brilliant start with a hard-earned point secured in Copenhagen against top seeds Denmark, before a 2-0 away victory against Belarus.

Greece are next up for Clarke and his players. That match will be played at Hampden on Thursday, October 9 with a 7.45pm kick-off.

Then it will be the return match for Belarus. That will also be played at the national stadium, on Sunday, October 12 with a 5pm start.

Denmark top Group C on goal difference, with Scotland also locked in on four points. Greece sit on three, while Belarus have none.

Clarke has gone for tried and tested with his 23-man squad having a familiar feel to it.
