Preston North End full-back Callum Davidson is back in the Scotland squad after a six year absence.
The 32-year-old was today called up by George Burley for next week's friendly against Northern Ireland at Hampden Park.
Davidson, last capped by his country back in 2002, is one of seven Championship players in the 24-man squad.
Scotland will use the game on Wednesday as a warm-up for their opening two World Cup qualifiers next month in Macedonia and Iceland.
Davidson has played 17 times for his country. His last appearance was as a half-time sub in a 3-1 friendly win over Canada.
He caught the attention of national boss Burley at the end of last season - his best in terms of appearances for many years.
The Scotland boss said: "Callum is an experienced player who has played for Scotland in the past.
"He did very well for Preston and I watched him in a pre-season game against Motherwell.
"He is fit and injury-free and this is an opportunity to look at him.
