Sebastien Pocognoli will name his first Scotland squad as head coach on Tuesday, with Stoke City centre-half Luke Graham and Sevilla striker Robbie Ure among the newcomers receiving their first full call-ups to the senior national team.
New faces
Graham, who plays at centre-half for Stoke City, and Ure, a forward plying his trade with Sevilla, will be included in what will be Pocognoli’s initial selection of players to represent Scotland at senior level. Both selections represent a first full international recognition for the pair.
Significance
The inclusion of Graham and Ure underlines Pocognoli’s early choices as he assembles his squad. Earning a first full call-up is a notable milestone for any player, signaling national-team consideration beyond youth or provisional setups.
What happens next
Pocognoli is expected to finalise and publish the full squad list on Tuesday. The announcement will set out the personnel he plans to work with for forthcoming fixtures and preparations, with fans and observers likely to scrutinise both established internationals and those newly introduced to the senior fold.
