McTominay returns to Scotland squad for Nations League matches

Scott McTominay has returned to the Scotland squad for their upcoming Nations League fixtures this month.

The Napoli midfielder missed out on Sebastien Pocognoli's first squad after undergoing minor heart surgery, but is now set to return on the international stage.

McTominay last featured for Scotland at the World Cup, where they were knocked out in the group stage after defeats to Morocco and Brazil.

Celtic defender Kieran Tierney and Torino striker Che Adams are also back in the squad after they missed out during the last break with injuries.

James Penrice has earned his first call-up, while Lennon Miller, Josh Doig and James Wilson have been dropped from the squad.

Scotland are third in the Nations League group, with Pocognoli winning just one of his first four games in charge (D1 L2).

Their win came away to North Macedonia, while they lost at home to both Switzerland and Slovenia, also drawing the reverse fixture against the latter.

Scotland host North Macedonia on November 13 before closing out their Nations League group campaign away to Switzerland three days later.

Scott Bain (Falkirk), Angus Gunn (San Jose Earthquakes), Liam Kelly (Rangers), Jon McCracken (Bradford City); Luis Binks (Brondby), James Penrice (Rangers), Luke Graham (Stoke City), Jack Hendry (Al-Ettifaq), Aaron Hickey (Brentford), Scott McKenna (Dinamo Zagreb), Nathan Patterson (Torino), Andy Robertson (Tottenham), Kieran Tierney (Celtic), Stephen Welsh (Swansea City); Ryan Christie (Bournemouth), Lewis Ferguson (Bologna), Billy Gilmour (Napoli), John McGinn (Aston Villa), Josh McPake (Hearts), Kristi Montgomery (Blackburn Rovers); Kieron Bowie (Sassuolo), Findlay Curtis (Rangers), Ben Gannon-Doak (Bournemouth), Oli McBurnie (Hull City), Robbie Ure (Sevilla), Che Adams (Torino).
