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:
9. Elliot Watt
Out of sight, out of mind. It is easy to forget Watt right now, even if he was the stand-out midfielders in Scottish football last season. He made a slightly surprising move to the Turkish Super Lig with Samsunspor, where he has been a regular until his recent two-game suspension kicked in. Watt is a deep-lying playmaker, someone who can dictate the pace of game and is a sweet passer of the ball. He's in the mould of Gilmour, although not at his level yet - that's not to say that he shouldn't be give his chance. Perhaps being in Turkey will count against him. He would be a wildcard pick - but it's not beyond the realms of possibility. | PA
10. James Wilson
The youngest man ever to play for Scotland, Wilson fell off the international radar last season after a year of stagnation at Hearts and then at Tottenham's youth teams. The 19-year-old is very much back in the conversation now, though, given his blistering start to the season. He has scored four goals - including a wonder strike against Rapid Vienna and the opening goal in a derby in front of the onwatching Pocognoli. Striking berths are competitive, but Wilson has a maturity, intelligence and a different skillset to many of Scotland's striking options. With places at Tynecastle also competitive, the leap of faith put into him by Vrancken may also get replicated by Pocognoli. | SNS Group
11. Ryan Porteous
Two years is a long time in international football. Just ask Ryan Porteous, who has barely played for Scotland since the Euro 2024 opener when he was sent off for wiping out Ilkay Gundogan in a 5-1 defeat by Germany. It was clear that the former Hibs man had lost the trust of Clarke, but the 27-year-old is rebuilding his reputation in America's MLS with Los Angeles Galaxy, where he is a regular starter. Porteous missed the weekend draw with Real Salt Lake with a leg injury and that issue could be untimely for him, depending on its severity. A fresh start in the Hampden dugout is likely to benefit the centre-half, who would add aggression to the Scotland backline. | Getty Images
12. Robbie Ure
The rise of Ure has been quite something since leaving Rangers' academy. He took a chance by going to Anderlecht in Belgium and then earned a move to Sirius in Sweden, where he immediately found him form. Netting 15 goals in the first half of this season earned him a £9m move to Sevilla in La Liga, where he has started the past three matches and recently provided an assist against Atletico Madrid. At 22-years-old, so many people feel he is great hope of Scottish football. That tag is perhaps a bit premature but with Lawrence Shankland ruled out by a significant hamstring injury, it feels so logical for Ure to get his maiden call-up. A powerful striker who is capable of leading the line on his own or as a pair, it is his composure in front of goal that makes him stand out. | Sevilla FC
