Scotland are back in Nations League action this week as they meet Greece in a relegation playoff double header, beginning with the first leg in Piraeus on Thursday (kick off. 7.45pm).
With Ben Doak, Ryan Gauld and Lewis Morgan all ruled out of the squad through injury, teenage talents such as Lennon Miller and James Wilson have both been handed a senior international call-ups after impressive performances for Motherwell and Hearts respectively.
The third player under the age of 20 to be drafted into the squad by Steve Clarke in the last 12 months, Tartan Army fans will be keeping an eye on Scot Gemmill’s under-21 squad this coming week as they look to see which other young talents could emerge as big players for Scotland in the months and years to come.
Here are 13 players who could be next in line to follow in the footsteps of Miller and Wilson and make it into the Scotland senior squad in the months to come.
5. Emilio Lawrence - Manchester City
You aren't signed by Manchester City if you haven't got something a little bit special about you. The talented 19-year-old has grown in stature this season, appearing for Manchester City's under-21's in the EFL trophy earlier in the campaign. Viewed as one of the top talents in his age group, he's already appeared for Scotland at youth level. | Getty Images Photo: Getty Images
6. Ryan One - Sheffield United
Still just 18, the youngster has played a part in the Blades push for automatic promotion in the EFL Championship, making 11 appearances and scoring once at Bramall Lane this season. Athletic and powerful despite being just 5ft 7, Sheffield United head coach Chris Wilder recently praised the teenager’s physical attributes, noting his "powerful frame" was proving to be a valuable alternative to the squad’s more experienced strikers. | SNS Group / SFA Photo: SNS Group
7. Gabriel Forsyth - Norwich City
Plucked from Hamilton two summers ago, the 18-year-old left-back broke into the Norwich City first team following the appointment of Johannes Hoff Thorup in the summer. A head coach that has a reputation for developing young players, Forsyth's future looks positive at Carrow Road after impressing when he called upon. Currently out with injury, the defender is a real prospect for Scotland. | Morgan Harlow/Getty Images Photo: Getty Images

8. Bobby Wales - Kilmarnock
Enjoying a breakout season at Rugby Park, the 19-year-old has scored featured regularly for Kilmarnock. First rose to prominence during a prolific spell on loan to Alloa Athletic in Scottish League One last season, he bagged 12 goals in 25 appearances for The Wasps. Out of contract in the summer, Killie boss Derek McInnes recently said he'd be "devastated" if he was to leave, adding he believes he's a future international in waiting: "If he performs well, with us, I'm sure he can get into the international set-up, I've no doubt about it," said McInnes. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
