"Fifa requires that you put in a squad, I think it's about 55 names. And I'm definitely No.55... But I'll find 55, for sure."
"A week or two before every international camp, a 'fitness for duty' check goes out to an extended pool of players, usually around 40-strong."
"That list is not made public. In fact, clubs don't always tell their players that they're in contention."
"May's list will be no different. It could be a maximum of 55 names and a minimum of 35."
Fifa mandates that Scotland's head coach submits a provisional squad of 55 players for the World Cup. This list is typically not made public, and clubs may not inform players of their inclusion. A 'fitness for duty' check is conducted prior to international camps, usually involving around 40 players. The final squad selection occurs within 15 days of the match, with the possibility of late additions. The May list will consist of a maximum of 55 names and a minimum of 35.
