"Image source, SNS Scotland may have only played 20 days ago, but Steve Clarke is already clattering together his squad for the next two crucial World Cup qualifiers. The Scots, who sit second in Group C on goal difference after opening their campaign with an away draw to Denmark and a win against Belarus in Hungary, continue their pursuit of qualification for a first World Cup since 1998 with a home double-header against Greece and Belarus next month - live on the BBC."
"Though Angus Gunn kept back-to-back clean sheets on his return between the Scotland sticks earlier this month, the shotstopper has not had a sniff at new club Nottingham Forest in the meantime. He's only been named on the bench once - in the late League Cup win against Swansea - since 31 August, and has yet to catch even the peripheral vision of new manager Ange Postecoglou."
Scotland will name a squad for two crucial World Cup qualifiers against Greece and Belarus, aiming to reach the first World Cup since 1998. The team sits second in Group C on goal difference after a draw in Denmark and a win over Belarus in Hungary. The narrow international schedule means few new faces are expected in the squad. Goalkeeper selection presents a dilemma: Angus Gunn kept back-to-back clean sheets for Scotland but has barely featured for Nottingham Forest since August. Zander Clark and Liam Kelly lack regular club minutes, while Barnet's Cieran Slicker has started nine league games and saved two penalties. Falkirk's Scott Bain earned praise despite a 3-0 defeat to Hearts.
