CELTIC midfielder Stuart Armstrong could be set to earn his first senior Scotland cap after being called into Gordon Strachan's squad for games against Canada and Slovenia.
Strachan has named the on-form Hoops midfielder in his squad along with fellow uncapped midfielders Ryan Fraser of Bournemouth and Tom Cairney of Fulham.
Jordan Rhodes has received his first call for a year and a half, while Cardiff City's Allan McGregor also returns to the fold.
West Bromwich Albion midfielder Matt Phillips is included after an impressive run of form for the Premier League side, while Stephen Kingsley, Jack Hamilton, Gordon Greer and the injured Callum Paterson have dropped out since last November's defeat to England at Wembley.
Scotland face Canada in a friendly at Easter Road next Wednesday before their 2018 World Cup qualifying campaign continues with a clash against Slovenia at Hampden Park next Sunday.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
