GORDON STRACHAN has today named his Scotland squad for the friendly with Qatar and crunch Euro qualifier against the Republic of Ireland.

And he has handed recalls to Celtic pair Leigh Griffiths and Charlie Mulgrew for the double header next month.

Dundee keeper Scott Bain has received his first call-up to the squad while former Rangers midfielder Charlie Adam returns after a fine run of form with Stoke.

Scotland face Qatar at Easter Road on June 5 before heading to Dublin for the huge meeting with Martin O'Neil's side that could determine our fate on the road to France next summer.
