Luke Graham and Robbie Ure Named in Pocognoli's Scotland Squad

Ure, who is also 22, has not scored since moving to Spain. However, because he remains eligible to represent Ukraine, the new head coach is reportedly eager to secure his international future and is expected to include him in the squad announced at 11:00 (BST).

Since Pocognoli replaced Clarke, who stepped down after Scotland failed to reach the knockout phase of a major tournament for the first time, there has been widespread anticipation that the Belgian will rejuvenate an ageing squad.

Fellow Belgian Wouter Vrancken, the head coach of Heart of Midlothian, is also confident that several players from the Gorgie club will earn selection.

Striker James Wilson and wide players Calvin Miller and Josh McPake have all attracted praise for their recent displays.

Former Scotland skipper Scott Brown also has great expectations for the Hearts wingers, whose contributions have played a significant role in the team’s impressive start to the campaign.

Pocognoli’s first match in charge of Scotland will be their Nations League B opener against Slovenia on Saturday, 26 September. Three days later, he will make his Hampden dugout debut against Switzerland.
