David Bates called into Scotland squad to replace Luis Binks

David Bates has received a call-up to the Scotland squad ahead of fixtures against North Macedonia and Switzerland. The defender, who plays for Amedspor in Turkey, steps in to replace Luis Binks after he withdrew from the team. Bates has not played for the national team since 2019, when he won the last of his four caps under Alex McLeish. Sebastien Pocognoli's squad also includes central defenders Luke Graham, Jack Hendry, and Ryan Porteous, alongside Kieran Tierney as Scotland prepares for their upcoming matches.
