A week on Tuesday, new Scotland head coach Sebastien Pocognoli will name his first squad for the Nations League B fixtures against Slovenia home and away, Switzerland at home and North Macedonia away.
There will be much intrigue as to what direction Pocognoli turns to after seven successful years of Steve Clarke being at the helm of the national team.
Will the Belgian stick largely with the group of players that took Scotland to the World Cup? Or will there be sweeping changes to how the squad looks?
We take a look at 13 either uncapped or previously out-of-the-picture Scots who will hope to have caught Pocognoli's eye:
5. Luke Graham
A Scotland Under-21 mainstay of recent years, the 22-year-old has moved to Stoke City in the EFL Championship and has started the Potters' last two matches, keeping clean sheets and playing well. His argument is growing. Those that watched Graham at Dundee last term were impressed by him. He is a modern-day centre-half who can play in a back three or four. He has also improved at Stoke, and is regarded as the best Scottish centre-back of the young crop coming through. With Scott McKenna, Jack Hendry and Dom Hyam the only three clear senior options right now, Graham may get the call - although he is probably behind Welsh in terms of his development. | PA
6. Josh Doig
The 24-year-old timed his goal at the weekend against Bologna well, thrusting himself back into the limelight. He's emerged as a first-choice this term for Sassuolo and is versatile across the left side of defence. Doig's one and only cap came against Liechtenstein last year and he's been on the fringes of the Scotland set-up. But after four years in Italy, he has become a more mature and rounded player who merits an opportunity. Part of his problem is who is in front of him. Captain Andy Robertson and Celtic's Kieran Tierney are two of Scotland's best players. Nevertheless, they won't go on forever, and Doig would benefit from more exposure at international level. | Getty Images
7. Kieron Bowie
When Bowie moved to Hellas Verona last winter, it was anticipated that the striker's switch to Serie A would give him the best chance of being part of the World Cup squad. In the end, Verona were relegated and Bowie missed out on selection for the tournament. A summer move to Sassuolo materialised and Bowie is now their first-choice No 9. He has yet to find the net, yet continues to be selected. He is more than playing his part. The 23-year-old can play as an out-and-out striker or wide on the left. He is physical, can strike a ball with his left foot and has presumably worked on the tactical aspects of his game in Italy. Another who, under Pocognoli, should be looking to add to his two caps so far. | Getty Images
8. Lennon Miller
Miller's omission from the World Cup squad, especially after Billy Gilmour's injury, surprised a few people. While he has only been capped four times, the 20-year-old was widely deemed as the next big midfielder off the conveyor belt. Championed by the SFA last week as the blueprint for clubs developing youngsters, Miller still hasn't crowbarred his way into the Udinese Serie A starting XI. But with Scott McTominay ruled out by minor heart surgery, he could get his chance to come back into the Scotland fold. | Getty Images
