Billy Gilmour starts with John McGinn, Lewis Ferguson, and Scott McTominay in midfield with Che Adams and Ben Gannon-Doak rounding it out.<\/p>\n<h3>Notable Changes<\/h3>\n<p>Lyondon Dykes drops to the bench as does Ryan Christie with two changes also amde in the back line. This is going to be an interesting setup as it could be a 4-2-3-1 agains with Doak or Adams up front or it&#8217;s them as a front two with a midfield four behind them.<\/p>\n<h3>Belarus Team News<\/h3>\n<p>Fedor Lapoukhov is in goal with defenders Sergei Karpovich, Yegor Parkhomenko, Zakhar Volkov, Pavel<br \/>\nZabelin, and Kirill Pechenin. Maksim Myakish is in midfield with Vladislav Kalinin, and Maks Ebong. German Barkovski and Evgeni Malashevich are the outlets up front.<\/p>\n<h3>Notable Changes<\/h3>\n<p>After trying a 4-4-2 against Greece they&#8217;ve reverted to a more defensive looking setup with Ebong moving back and both strikers being changed. A number of defenders also miss out after a disappointing defensive performance last time out.<\/p>\n<h3>Scotland Squad<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Angus Gunn<\/li>\n<li>Liam Kelly<\/li>\n<li>Zander Clark<\/li>\n<li>Aaron Hickey<\/li>\n<li>Andy Robertson<\/li>\n<li>Grant Hanley<\/li>\n<li>Josh Doig<\/li>\n<li>Jack Hendry<\/li>\n<li>John Souttar<\/li>\n<li>Scott McKenna<\/li>\n<li>Max Johnston<\/li>\n<li>Scott McTominay<\/li>\n<li>John McGinn<\/li>\n<li>Billy Gilmour<\/li>\n<li>Lennon Miller<\/li>\n<li>Lewis Ferguson<\/li>\n<li>Kenny McLean<\/li>\n<li>Lyndon Dykes<\/li>\n<li>Che Adams<\/li>\n<li>Ryan Christie<\/li>\n<li>Ben Doak<\/li>\n<li>George Hirst<\/li>\n<li>Kieron Bowie<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Belarus Squad<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Sergei Ignatovich<\/li>\n<li>Pavel Pavlyuchen<\/li>\n<li>Fedor Lapoukhov<\/li>\n<li>Kirill Pechenin<\/li>\n<li>Pavel Zabelin<\/li>\n<li>Aleksandr Martyn<\/li>\n<li>Yegor Parkhomen<\/li>\n<li>Sergei Karpovich<\/li>\n<li>Vladislav Kalinin<\/li>\n<li>Vlasislav Malkevich<\/li>\n<li>Zakhar Volkov<\/li>\n<li>Badim Pigas<\/li>\n<li>Maksim Myakish<\/li>\n<li>Nikita Demcheno<\/li>\n<li>Maks EBonh<\/li>\n<li>Valeri Gromyko<\/li>\n<li>Evgeni Yablonski<\/li>\n<li>Nikita Korzun<\/li>\n<li>Raman Pasevich<\/li>\n<li>Evgeni Malashevich<\/li>\n<li>German Barkovsk<\/li>\n<li>Yuri Kovalev<\/li>\n<li>Trofim Melnichen<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>(Squad details via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uefa.com\/european-qualifiers\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">UEFA website<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned for the confirmed lineups for Scotland vs Belarus in World Cup Qualifying.
