Oli McBurnie and Barry Douglas are to receive their first senior call-ups in Alex McLeish's Scotland squad on Monday, Sky Sports News understands.

The 21-year-old striker McBurnie - currently on loan at Barnsley from Swansea - has previously played for Scotland's U21s and U19s.

Left-back Douglas will receive his first call-up at the age of 28, following his impressive performances for Championship leaders Wolves - and both will join Manchester United youngster Scott McTominay in the group.

McLeish confirmed last week that McTominay would go straight into his first squad for the upcoming friendlies against Costa Rica and Hungary after being convinced by the midfielder's "passion" to play for the Tartan Army.

McTominay was also wanted by England and was understood to have spoken to head coach Gareth Southgate.
