Story summary

Scotland's new coach Sébastien Pocognoli has made significant changes to the national team squad ahead of four upcoming matches in the second-tier Nations League group, notably including Sevilla forward Robbie Ure and Hearts winger Josh McPake, among others. Half of the 28-player squad did not participate in Scotland's disappointing World Cup performance, where they were eliminated from the group stage despite fan support being far more robust. Pocognoli also selected six players from Serie A clubs but notably omitted key player Scott McTominay who is recovering from a heart procedure at Napoli. The first match is an away game against Slovenia on Sept 26, followed by matches against Switzerland and North Macedonia. This reshuffle aims to rejuvenate the squad, which has struggled to advance beyond the group stage in major tournaments recently.
