Midfielder John Fleck will be named in Steve Clarke’s Scotland squad for the Euro 2020 qualifiers against Russia and San Marino on Tuesday.
Fleck, 28, will receive a third senior international call-up after some impressive performances for Premier League newcomers Sheffield United.
He was set to feature against Cyprus and Belgium in June but was unavailable because he was getting married.
Scotland visit Russia on 10 October and host San Marino three days later.
It has been reported that Arsenal defender Kieran Tierney will also be included for the double-header.
Tierney, 22, has played just once since moving from Celtic in a £25m deal in August, making his Gunners debut in last week’s Carabao Cup win over Nottingham Forest after having undergoing a double-hernia operation in May.
The left-back, who has been capped 12 times by his country, was not included in Arsenal’s squad for Monday’s Premier League draw at Manchester United.
Scotland are fifth in Group I after two wins and four defeats in their opening six games, with Russia on 15 points in second place – three behind Belgium.
However, even though their chances of qualification through the group have faded, they can still make the finals via next year’s play-offs after winning their Uefa Nations League group last year.
