Scotland have recalled defender Ryan Porteous to their national squad while Stephen Welsh has been ruled out, the Scottish Football Association announced on Saturday.
Porteous, who plays for Watford in the English Championship, returns to the international setup after a period of absence. The 25-year-old centre-back previously earned caps for Scotland and adds defensive depth to the squad.
Welsh, who plays for Celtic, misses out on selection. The reason for his omission was not immediately specified in the announcement.
The squad update comes as Scotland prepare for upcoming fixtures in the 2026-27 international calendar.
