Luton midfielder Allan Campbell will be hoping to make his senior Scotland debut during this evening’s home Nations League match against Armenia.
The 23-year-old was called up by boss Steve Clarke ahead of last Wednesday’s World Cup play-off 3-1 defeat to Ukraine, which ended the Tartan Army’s hopes of reaching the finals in Qatar later this year.

Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: “With the way the calendar is structured now there are not so many friendly games so there are no real chances to experiment, although we had some friendlies in March which was unusual.
"I've always said I've got a really good squad, I enjoy the squad.
"I think there are people in the squad who deserve the chance to play over the next three games and hopefully you'll see that.

"But over the course of the next six days we've got three games and a lot of travel, a long flight to Armenia, so I'll need to use the squad."
