McTominay returns as Penrice earns first Scotland call

Scott McTominay, Kieran Tierney and Che Adams return to the Scotland squad for the remaining Nations League matches at home to North Macedonia and away to Switzerland.

There is a first call up for James Penrice and uncapped Kristi Montgomery, a late addition last time, retains his place.

Scott McKenna and Kenny McLean miss out through injury, while Lennon Miller, Josh Doig, Colby Donovan and James Wilson drop out.

Head coach Sebastien Pocognoli chose an extended pool of 28 for the first four matches, which included disappointing home defeats to Switzerland and Slovenia.

For these fixtures, the Belgian has gone with 26, sticking with four goalkeepers.

Scotland are third in Group B1 and require a minimum of four points to have any chance of finishing second to feature in the promotion play-offs.

One point would stave off any threat of relegation.

Switzerland lead the way on maximum points, with Slovenia three ahead of Scotland.
