14 Sep
Summary
- New coach Sebastien Pocognoli names his first Scotland squad on Tuesday.
- Scotland faces four Nations League games in two weeks starting September 26.
- Key decisions loom over goalkeeping, defense, and forward positions.
Sebastien Pocognoli will announce his first Scotland squad on Tuesday, signaling a new chapter for the national team. The squad announcement precedes the team's Nations League campaign, which kicks off with an away match against Slovenia on September 26. This initial period will see Scotland play four games in just two weeks, concluding with a home tie against Slovenia on October 6.
Pocognoli, the new head coach, faces numerous selection dilemmas. The goalkeeping position remains a concern, with established options like Angus Gunn and Craig Gordon having uncertain futures or having retired. Defensive choices are also in focus, with potential shifts in personnel and strategy anticipated. The midfield and forward lines present further selection puzzles for the Belgian manager.
The team's schedule includes an away trip to North Macedonia on October 3. These matches will provide Pocognoli with his first opportunity to implement his vision and assess his squad depth and capabilities in competitive international fixtures.
