Uncapped teenagers Lennon Miller & James Wilson named in Scotland squad for Greece tie
Meanwhile, Lewis Ferguson, Kevin Nisbet and Kieran Tierney have been recalled by Steve Clarke.
Motherwell midfielder Miller and Hearts forward Wilson, both 18, have represented their country at age grade level. Well regular Miller has captained his club side of late while Wilson has broken into the Hearts team in recent months, scoring six times.
Bologna midfielder Ferguson, 25, missed Euro 2024 with a long-term knee injury but has returned to action in Serie A. Forward Nisbet, 28, is rewarded for his recent form on loan at Aberdeen from Millwall, netting 10 goals this season including five in his past six appearances.
Defender Tierney, 27, last played for Scotland during the Euros, where he picked up a hamstring injury, but recently returned to the Arsenal side. He will move back to first club Celtic this summer.
Hearts captain Lawrence Shankland, 29, also featured in the finals in Germany but is not included in the latest squad.
Clarke’s side are bidding to stay in League A and are away for the first leg on 20 March (19:45 GMT), with the return at Hampden on 23 March (17:00).
Greece named their squad on Monday, with head coach Ivan Jovanovic including three Premier League players.
Newcastle United goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos, Liverpool defender Kostas Tsimikas and West Ham defender Konstantinos Mavropanos are part of Jovanovic’s 26-strong squad.
Genk midfielder Kostas Karetsas, 17, is given a first call-up but 31-year-old captain Tasos Bakasetas misses out after sitting out Panathinaikos’ past four games, as does former Celtic forward Giorgos Giakoumakis, now with Cruz Azul.
Scotland and Greece have only faced each other twice before in the men’s game, during the Euro 96 qualifying campaign. The home side won 1-0 on both occasions.
