Scotland head coach Steve Clarke is set to announce his 26-man squad for the upcoming World Cup, ending a 28-year drought for the nation. With fierce competition for spots, several key questions remain.
Stewart or McBurnie to Replace Injured Conway? Ross Stewart, the Southampton striker, has returned from a hamstring injury to score five goals in his last 10 appearances, including a crucial goal in the Championship play-off semi-final. Oli McBurnie of Hull City has also impressed with 18 goals this season and has directly asked Clarke about his international omission. Both are vying for a place after Tommy Conway's apparent injury, which saw him leave the field in tears during a recent match.
Curtis's Late Surge Findlay Curtis has made a strong case with four goals in Kilmarnock's last five post-split matches. He earned his first cap in the recent friendlies and could benefit from Conway's misfortune.
