Graham Alexander
Alexander was brought into the Scotland squad at the last minute for their friendly against Northern Ireland last week and played in the game. This time he's been named immediately for their first two World Cup qualifiers.

The first is against Macedonia a week on Saturday and that's followed by another away game against Iceland four days later.

For McDonald it is another selection for the Under-21 squad. He scored for them last week and he'll now be on his travels. They start with a home game against Slovenia and then play Denmark away in their European Under-21 qualifiers.
