Scotland will return to action in November as they look to end their Nations League campaign in positive fashion with games against North Macedonia and Switzerland.
After winning just one of his first four games in charge during the September international break, new Scotland head coach Sebastien Pocognoli will seek improvement as he looks to pip Slovenia to second place in Group E of the competition.
Having named eight uncapped players in his inaugural squad, there’s plenty of intrigue around who the Belgian boss could include in his Scotland squad this time, with several players catching the eye both in Tony Docherty’s Under-21 side last month and on the domestic front. But which players will be the next to break into the Scotland senior side?
Here are the 8 players we’re tipping to catch the eye of Pocognoli and make a claim for a Scotland senior squad call-up for the November Nations League double-header:

5. Colby Donovan - Celtic
The right-back has been a regular for Celtic this season, and has been one of the club's best performers. Named in the Scotland squad last month, he didn't play a single minute across the four games, but will be hoping he impressed enough in training to be included once more when the squad reconvene in November. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
6. Lyall Cameron - Dundee United
The on loan playmaker is one of the most in-form midfielders in the Scottish Premiership, and Pocognoli has already shown he isn't afraid to give younger players a chance. Cameron has four goal contributions in his last five games at Tannadice, creating more chances than 89 per cent of other midfielders in the division. Scotland's engine room is packed with talent, but the 24-year-old is making a case for inclusion. | SNS Group
7. Kristi Montgomery - Blackburn Rovers
A late call-up to the last squad following an injury to Kenny McLean, the midfielder wasn't capped last month but will be hoping he impressed enough in training to be included from the off this time. | Iconic Media Photo: Iconic Media
8. Jon McCracken - Bradford City
The ex-Dundee goalkeeper has been involved in the Scotland setup plenty times before, including last month in Pocognoli's inaugural squad, but is yet to be capped. However, he is in the form of his life with Bradford City in EFL League One. He's got nine clean sheets in 11 league games, conceding just four goals in that same time period. McCracken will push for a first cap in November as Scotland's most in-form goalkeeper. | Getty Images
