Scotland World Cup squad: striker Ross Stewart selected after four-year absence
Steve Clarke impressed by Southampton player’s form
Craig Gordon, 43, makes cut – but no Miller or McBurnie
The Southampton striker Ross Stewart has ended a four-year absence from international football by being named in the Scotland squad for this summer’s World Cup.
Stewart’s excellent touch towards the end of the domestic season – the 29-year-old scored five times in 10 games as Southampton progressed to the playoff final – has prompted Steve Clarke to add him to his 26-man party. A substitute appearance in a Nations League game against Armenia marks the last time Stewart donned Scotland colours.
