Scotland's national football team has announced its squad for the upcoming Nations League matches against North Macedonia and Switzerland. The team has seen several players return from injury, including Scott McTominay, Kieran Tierney, and Che Adams. McTominay, who had been recovering from a minor heart procedure, has scored four goals in seven outings since his recovery. Tierney and Adams have also made strong comebacks, with Tierney returning to the team after a brief layoff and Adams doubling his goal tally for the season. The team has also seen new faces earn their first call-ups, including James Penrice and Kristi Montgomery. Penrice, a 27-year-old left-back, has impressed with Rangers since joining on loan from AEK Athens, while Montgomery, a 22-year-old midfielder, has started all but one Championship match this season. The team is looking to bounce back from disappointing home defeats to Switzerland and Slovenia, and will need to secure at least four points to have any chance of finishing second in their group and qualifying for the promotion play-offs. Captain Andy Robertson is also nearing a significant milestone, with the Tottenham full-back set to surpass Sir Kenny Dalglish's record of 102 caps if he features in both matches on 13 and 16 November.
