Christophe Berra (Ipswich Town), Gordon Greer (Blackburn Rovers), Grant Hanley (Newcastle United), Alan Hutton (Aston Villa), Russell Martin (Norwich City), Callum Paterson (Heart of Midlothian), Andrew Robertson (Hull City), Kieran Tierney (Celtic), Ikechi Anya (Watford).

Reports that Ross McCormack was simply not chosen by Gordon Strachan, as opposed to being injured or unavailable for other reasons
Steven Fletcher, Leigh Griffiths, Steven Naismith and Chris Martin are the selected strikers
