McGinn, Conway return as Clarke makes five changes to Scotland squad


Aston Villa captain John McGinn and Middlesbrough striker Tommy Conway have been named in Scotland’s squad for their final Nations League matches against Croatia and Poland.

Head coach Steve Clarke has made five changes from the group that ended their previous double-header with defenders Jack Hendry and Scott McKenna also returning.

Ipswich Town goalkeeper Cieran Slicker – who has yet to feature for the Premier League club this season – is a surprise inclusion as he earns his first senior call-up.

Clarke’s side – who have won just one of their last 16 matches – will take some confidence from their draw at home to Portugal last time out but do find themselves bottom of group A1 after three defeats from four.
