Overview
- With Angus Gunn injured, Steve Clarke will pick between Craig Gordon, Scott Bain and Liam Kelly in goal for the qualifiers against Greece on November 15 and Denmark on November 18.
- Veteran Craig Gordon said he is "absolutely" ready to start despite limited minutes at Hearts, while Scott Bain has been recalled after regular starts for Falkirk.
- Assistant coach Steven Naismith confirmed Billy Gilmour is ruled out of the Greece trip but said he has a good chance to return for the Denmark match after a groin injury.
- Coaches kept Gilmour at home for treatment to avoid risking a setback and to maximize his prospects of being fit for the final qualifier.
- Selection in goal is complicated by a scarcity of Scots keepers with regular club games, with Gordon noting Bain is slightly ahead in match sharpness.
