With just a few weeks to go until Scotland kick-off their Euro 2024 campaign against Germany, excitement for the tournament is reaching fever pitch.
Thousands of Tartan Army fans will head to Europe in June in the hope that Steve Clarke’s side can make it to the knockout stages of a major tournament for the first time in their history.
Many of the travelling fans have already began picking the 26 players they feel should make the plane too.
Lewis Ferguson has been ruled out with a season-ending knee injury, while Aaron Hickey, Grant Hanley and Nathan Patterson are all doubts for Euro 2024, which leaves a number of fringe players sweating on their inclusion.
However, who would make the squad based if it was based on their average player ratings from this year? According to FotMob player rating’s, these 26 players are who should be included in Clarke’s squad for Euro 2024 - with a number of shock inclusions.
17. CM: Kenny McLean
The Norwich City midfielder missed out on the last Euros through injury. He won the club's player of the year vote last week and has a FotMob average rating of 7.20. Has one goal and five assists in the English Championship this season. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
18. CM: Stuart Armstrong
The midfielder has been in fine form for promotion chasing Southampton with 12 goal contributions this season. An average rating of 7.23 would see him included in this squad - however, he faces a race to be fit in time for the competition after being stretched off vs Cardiff City last week. | Alan Harvey - SNS Group Photo: Alan Harvey - SNS Group
19. CM: Connor Barron
With a higher rating than Ryan Jack and several other Scottish midfielder, the under-21 international would make the squad if it were based on average rating for the season. He scores an impressive 7.13 for the season. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
20. CM: Scott McTominay
Scotland's man of the moment has a surprisingly low average rating on FotMob in comparison to his team-mates at just 6.90. He still makes this squad though. Has seven goals and one assists for Manchester United in the English Premier League this term. | Stu Forster Photo: Stu Forster
