Key talking points from Pocognoli's bold selection
The squad features a refreshed defence built around a back‑three system, a midfield that remains largely unchanged, and an exciting, new‑looking attack led by uncapped options.
In goal, Angus Gunn (San Jose Earthquakes, MLS) retains the favouriteship with 25 caps, while Scott Bain (Falkirk) and Jon McCracken (Bradford City) provide depth, the former noted for his comfort with the ball at his feet.
No new goalkeepers were called up, and Liam Kelly remains second choice at Rangers. Pocognoli emphasized that his coaching philosophy, shaped at Union Saint‑Gilloise and Monaco, will see Scotland predominantly operate with a back three.
