He's got an eye for goal as well.”READ | Liverpool's Williams gets first Wales call-up, Bale included Goalkeeper Robby McCrorie, who is on loan at Livingston from Rangers, is the other newcomer in Clarke's 24-man squad, which also includes Liverpool's Andy Robertson, Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay and Arsenal defender Kieran Tierney.Former Bournemouth winger Ryan Fraser, currently a free agent, was left out due to a lack of fitness, while U.S.-based players Johnny Russell and Lewis Morgan were not selected due to the quarantine rules in place because of the novel coronavirus.Scotland kicks off its Nations League campaign against Israel at Hampden Park on September 4 before travelling to the Czech Republic for its second qualifier on September 7.SQUADGoalkeepers: David Marshall, Robby McCrorie, Jon McLaughlinDefenders: Liam Cooper, Declan Gallagher, Scott McKenna, Stephen O'Donnell, Liam Palmer, Andrew Robertson, Greg Taylor, Kieran TierneyMidfielders: Stuart Armstrong, Ryan Christie, John Fleck, Ryan Jack, John McGinn, Callum McGregor, Kenny McLean, Scott McTominayForwards: Oliver Burke, Lyndon Dykes, James Forrest, Oliver McBurnie, Lawrence Shankland Subscribe to our daily newsletter Get your daily dose of Sportstar with handpicked stories delivered right to your inbox!
