The Tartan Army has already qualified for a tournament this summer and is aiming to secure a preferable round-robin placing in Germany by finishing ahead of Spain in Group A. Their next match is against Georgia away from home, and midfielder Kenny McLean is available for selection. McLean, who primarily features as a substitute for Steve Clarke’s side, scored a vital late winner against Norway in June.
