HEARTS full-back Andraz Struna has been named in Slovenia's squad for the upcoming World Cup qualifier against Scotland.
The 27-year-old joined the Jambos in January and has quickly become an important part of Ian Cathro's team, making 10 appearances.
Slovenia travel to Hampden Park next Sunday with a four-point lead over Gordon Strachan's side in qualifying group F after picking up two wins and two draws in their opening four games.
They also played two friendly matches in January, being held to a goalless draw against Saudi Arabia before beating Finland 2-0.
Struna's younger brother Aljaz, currently on loan at Carpi from Palermo in Italy's Serie B, has also been named in Srečko Katanec's squad.
Scotland have begun their bid to reach the 2018 World Cup in Russia poorly, beating Malta before being held to Lithuania and suffering defeats against Slovakia and England.
