James Penrice earns first Scotland call-up while Scott McTominay returns to squad

McTominay returns after heart surgery; Penrice earns first call-up for Nations League matches against North Macedonia (Nov 13) and Switzerland (Nov 16).

Scotland manager Sebastien Pocognoli has named his 26-man squad for the final two Nations League Group B1 fixtures this month. Scott McTominay, the Napoli midfielder who underwent heart surgery in September and missed the opening camp under Pocognoli, returns to the squad. Torino striker Che Adams also comes back after missing the previous camp with a muscle strain.

Defender James Penrice, currently on loan at Rangers from Greek side AEK Athens, earns his first Scotland call-up. Celtic left-back Kieran Tierney, who withdrew from the first camp with an injury, is also back in contention. Centre-back Scott McKenna misses out after picking up a back strain while playing for Dinamo Zagreb.

Scotland face North Macedonia at Hampden Park on November 13, followed by an away trip to Switzerland three days later. The team sits third in Group B1 with four points from four games, three points behind Slovenia and eight adrift of leaders Switzerland.
