Lewis Morgan added to Scotland's provisional Euro 2024 squad by Steve Clarke (2024)

Scotland head coach Steve Clarke has added New York Red Bulls star Lewis Morgan to his provisional squad ahead of Euro 2024.

The 27-year-old - who has nine goals and three assists this season - has been used as a forward in the MLS.

Morgan last played for the national team in 2018 and joins the group following the withdrawals of Lyndon Dykes and Ben Doak.

Clarke had already called up Bristol City's Tommy Conway in place of Doak - with Morgan now added to a 28-man group which must be cut to 26 after Friday's friendly against Finland.

The former Celtic, St Mirren, Sunderland and Inter Miami attacker has scored 66 goals in 284 club appearances, including 26 since moving to New York.

Two players will be cut from the current pool before the squad depart for Germany - but will Morgan and Conway both join forwards Che Adams, Lawrence Shankland and James Forrest at the Euros?

Elsewhere, Clarke named four goalkeepers in his initial squad with No 1 Angus Gunn and Zander Clark expected to travel but what will happen to Craig Gordon and Liam Kelly?

Clarke has suggested all four could travel but if one is to miss out, the decision will come down to experience or game-time. Kelly featured in every league match for Motherwell but has just one cap for the national team. Gordon, however, has 74 caps and at 41 years old, would bring experience, but has only played seven games since suffering a double-leg break in December 2022.

In front of the 'keepers, Jack Hendry, Ryan Porteous, Scott McKenna, Andy Robertson, Greg Taylor and Kieran Tierney will be in the squad, as will Grant Hanley, who is back after fitness concerns, plus Ross McCrorie and Anthony Ralston, who are Clarke's right-back options after injuries.

However, Liam Cooper came off in the win over Gibraltar as a precaution and will want to prove he is ok to travel, while John Souttar has also had his own fitness and injury issues of late and missed that friendly.

Again Clarke will know the vast majority of his midfielders who will travel - including Ryan Christie, Billy Gilmour, Kenny McLean, John McGinn, Callum McGregor and Scott McTominay.

But what will happen to Stuart Armstrong and Ryan Jack? Armstrong - who has not played due to injury since mid-April - is back training but is he fit enough? And the same question could be asked of Jack who came on for 17 minutes on Monday having last played in March.
