McBurnie & seven uncapped names in Scotland squad
Hull City forward Oli McBurnie is called up to the Scotland squad for the first time in five years while seven uncapped make new head coach Sebastien Pocognoli's first selection.
Hull City striker Oli McBurnie, 30, has made his first appearance for Scotland's national team in five years. Uncapped players Luis Binks, Colby Donovan, Jon McCracken, Josh McPake, and Stephen Welsh also earned their first senior call-ups under new head coach Sebastien Pocognoli. Stoke City defender Luke Graham and Sevilla striker Robbie Ure, both 22, were also recalled to the squad.
McBurnie, who last featured for Scotland in 2021, has 16 caps to his name but has never scored for his country. Binks, 25, has played for England and Scotland's under-age teams and has been a regular for Celtic's first team this season. Graham, who had a successful pre-World Cup training camp, was an unused substitute in Scotland's victory over Curacao.
Ure, who has scored 20 goals in 20 matches for Sirius in Sweden, may be in line for a place in the Scotland team due to his eligibility for Ukraine.
