SCOTLAND’S preparations for the Euros are hotting up and Steve Clarke has named his squad for March’s double header.
We’re fast approaching the summer’s footie extravaganza in Germany meaning there isn’t much longer for the Scotland boss to fine tune his plans.
Before Clarke takes his men to take on the hosts, Hungary and Switzerland, there are two big games this month.
First up is a trip to Amsterdam to take on the Netherlands on Friday, 22 March.
And that’s followed by a clash with Northern Ireland back at Hampden Park four days later.
The headline news is that Craig Gordon is BACK in the Scotland setup.
Clarke watched on as the 41-year old put in an inspired performance in the Jambos’ Scottish Cup win over Morton last night.
Scotland squad to face Netherlands & Northern Ireland:
Goalkeepers: Zander Clark (Hearts), Craig Gordon (Hearts), Angus Gunn (Norwich City), Liam Kelly (Motherwell)
Defenders: Liam Cooper (Leeds United), Grant Hanley (Norwich City), Jack Hendry (Al-Ettifaq), Scott McKenna (Copenhagen), Nathan Patterson (Everton), Ryan Porteous (Watford), Anthony Ralston (Celtic), Andy Robertson (Liverpool), John Souttar (Rangers), Greg Taylor (Celtic), Kieran Tierney (Real Sociedad)
