    Clarke has been consistent in his back-line selections, with Aaron Hickey, Ryan Porteous, Nathan Patterson, Jack Hendry, Kieran Tierney and captain Andrew Robertson featuring in the most number of games.

    Grant Hanley, Liam Cooper, John Souttar, Scott McKenna, Dominic Hyam, Anthony Ralston and Greg Taylor all featured at some point during the eight qualifiers too, while Josh Doig and Ross McCrorie were named in a squad but did not play.

    Midfielders John McGinn, Callum McGregor and Scott McTominay featured in every match - a feat only matched by forwards Ryan Christie and Lyndon Dykes - suggesting Clarke will be consistent with his approach in the middle too.

    Image: Lawrence Shankland scored to seal a draw for Scotland in Georgia

    The real dilemma for Clarke could come at the top end of the pitch.

    Ryan Christie, Lyndon Dykes and Che Adams are almost guaranteed to be in the squad, but who else could join them?

    Having scored five goals in his last five club games, Hearts' Lawrence Shankland then netted during Scotland's draw in Georgia.

    Meanwhile, Jacob Brown - who started in the 3-3 draw against Norway - has scored just one goal this season for Luton Town in the FA Cup, and Millwall's Kevin Nisbet will hope to get over his injury troubles to force his way into Clarke's plans.
