Scotland team to play Slovenia as one enforced change and another big decision to be made

How Pocognoli could line up at Hampden

Scotland play their fourth and final match of an extended international window when Slovenia visit Hampden Park in the Nations League on Tuesday night.

After securing the first win of his nascent Scotland tenure with a 2-0 victory in North Macedonia on Saturday, head coach Sebastien Pocognoli will look to pick up three more points to end the camp on a high.

The sides played out a goalless draw in Ljubljana 10 days ago and are tied on four points in Group B1 with Slovenia above Scotland in second place on goal difference, five points behind leaders Switzerland.

Pocognoli has used a total of 16 different players across his opening three matches in charge, and has not named the same starting XI twice in succession. That trend will continue for the return game against the Slovenians due to Scott McKenna's late red card in Skopje rendering the defender suspended for the match.

Jack Hendry is available again following his one-match ban following his red card in the 3-0 defeat by Switzerland last week while Findlay Curtis has been recalled to the senior squad after notching four assists for the Under-21s in the 5-2 win over Azerbaijan last week.

There are several decision for Pocognoli to make regarding his team selection for a fourth match in 11 days.
