Billy Gilmour is in midfield with Kenny McLean. John McGinn, Ben Gannon-Doak, and Scott McTominay support Che Adams up front.<\/p>\n<h3>Notable Changes<\/h3>\n<p>Some changes through the centre of the park with different CBs and a different midfield pivot. The attacking four remains the same after putting three past the Greek back line. The formation remains a 4-2-3-1.<\/p>\n<h3>Belarus Team News<\/h3>\n<p>Fedor Lapoukhov is in goal with Kirill Zabelin, Aleksandr Martyn, Yegor Parkhomenko, Vladim Pigas, Kirill Pichenin, Evgeni Yablonski, Maks Ebonh, Evgeni Maleshevich, Valeri Gromkyo, and German Barkosvski rounding out the lineup.<\/p>\n<h3>Notable Changes<\/h3>\n<p>Likely still a five at the back with Pichenin as the wing-back. There&#8217;s a few changes with a new front line, no place for Mascaro, and two changes in midfield. Changes were needed after the defeat to Denmark and the manager has opted to try and forge some better combos.<\/p>\n<h3>Scotland Squad<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Angus Gunn<\/li>\n<li>Liam Kelly<\/li>\n<li>Craig Gordon<\/li>\n<li>Anthony Ralston<\/li>\n<li>Andy Robertson<\/li>\n<li>Grant Hanley<\/li>\n<li>Kieran Tierney<\/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>Connor Barron<\/li>\n<li>Lennon Miller<\/li>\n<li>Ben Gannon-Doak<\/li>\n<li>Josh Mulligan<\/li>\n<li>Kenny McLean<\/li>\n<li>Lyndon Dykes<\/li>\n<li>Che Adams<\/li>\n<li>George Hirst<\/li>\n<li>Kieron Bowie<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3>Belarus Squad<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Maksim Belov<\/li>\n<li>Pavel Pavluychen<\/li>\n<li>Fedor Lapoukhov<\/li>\n<li>Kirill Zabelin<\/li>\n<li>Aleksandr Martyn<\/li>\n<li>Yegor Parkhomenko<\/li>\n<li>Sergei Karpovich<\/li>\n<li>Vladisclav Kapilev<\/li>\n<li>Vladim Pigas<\/li>\n<li>Maksim Myakish<\/li>\n<li>Nikita Demchenko<\/li>\n<li>Maks Ebonh<\/li>\n<li>Valeri Gromkyo<\/li>\n<li>Evgeni Yablonski<\/li>\n<li>Nikita Korzun<\/li>\n<li>Ruslan Lisakovich<\/li>\n<li>Hleb Kuchko<\/li>\n<li>Evgeni Maleshevich<\/li>\n<li>German Barkosvski<\/li>\n<li>Ruslan Myalkovski<\/li>\n<li>Trofin Melnichen<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>(both squad lists via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.uefa.com\/european-qualifiers\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">uefa.com<\/a>)<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned for the Scotland vs Belarus confirmed lineups.
