Scotland are currently bottom of Nations League Group A, sitting on ZERO points after their opening two fixtures and will meet up at the end of next week.

They will travel to Zagreb to face Croatia on October 12 before welcoming Cristiano Ronaldo’s Portugal to Hampden a few days later on October 15.

Celtic left-back Taylor, continues to be rewarded for a fine start to the season at Parkhead, whilst Morgan, currently playing Stateside with MLS outfit New York Red Bulls, will look to continue his current goal scoring form.

The ex-St Mirren and Celtic forward has been a threat for the New York side this season, finding the back of the net five times in 24 games.

The squad that was announced earlier this morning, Tuesday October 1, also confirmed the arrival of three new faces into Clarke’s squad.

West Ham’s Andy Irving, Aberdeen’s Nicky Devlin and Preston North End’s Liam Lindsay will join up with the group for the first time following their form with their respective club’s in the opening weeks’ of the season.

Middlesbrough’s Ben Doak, on loan from Liverpool, keeps his place in the squad only a matter of days after scoring his first professional goal.

Veteran goalkeeper, Craig Gordon returns to the fold at the age of 41 after regaining his place in the Hearts squad.

He joins Torino forward Che Adams, who withdrew from last month’s squad through injury and he’ll be looking to carry his form from Turin, back to Hampden later this month.
