Scotland manager Alex McLeish has included two Aberdeen players in his squad for this month’s Euro 2020 qualifiers against Kazakhstan and San Marino.
Scott McKenna and Graeme Shinnie are both part of the squad but there is no place for winger Gray Mackay-Steven.
Sheffield Wednesday right back Liam Palmer, 27, and Hibernian forward Marc McNulty have been included in the squad for the first time. Palmer played eight times for Scotland at under-21 level. McNulty has impressed since joining Hibernian on loan during the January transfer window.

There is also a place for Celtic forward Oliver Burke, who won the last of his five caps against Canada in 2017.
The Scots are without Allan McGregor after he announced his retirement from international football last night with Millwall’s Jordan Archer, Celtic’s Scott Bain and Sunderland’s Jon McLaughlin chosen as the three goalkeepers.
