With the domestic season wrapping up and no other competitive internationals scheduled before June, Steve Clarke will already have a very good idea of who will be in his 23-man squad for this summer’s Euros.
However, it does appear the national team boss will have at least another couple of places to decide with Uefa likely to allow squads to be extended to either 25 or 26 players.
If we can assume that the last Scotland squad for the World Cup qualification triple-header against Austria, Israel and Faroe Islands was made up of players highly likely to be on the bus to Hampden, then that leaves around another dozen promising hopefuls who could find themselves squeezing into the final unit.
We look at each of those candidates...

. David Turnbull
Considering his superior form over either Ryan Christie or Callum McGregor this season, he may be among the first in line at a call-up if squads are extended. Photo: Craig Foy - SNS Group

. Ryan Gauld
It would likely be only one of Turnbull or Gauld brought in as an extra central playmaker. The Farense midfielder has experience on his side. Photo: SNS Group Bruce White

. Oli Burke
The Sheffield United attacker has been in recent squads, while his relative versatility (he can play up front or on the wing) may work in his favour. Photo: Ross MacDonald - SNS Group / SFA

5. Lawrence Shankland
Recently lost his place in the squad to Kevin Nisbet and could find an immediate return if Clarke wishes to use an extra place up front. Photo: Mark Scates - SNS Group

6. Shaun Rooney
Forrest would be considered first in line to provide another option on the right of the 3-4-3, but if Clarke wants a more defensive option then he may opt for the in-form St Johnstone man. Photo: Mark Scates - SNS Group

7. Nathan Patterson
Like Rooney, there have been calls for Patterson to be included as another option at right-back/right wing-back. The Rangers kid is seen as the future at the position. Photo: Craig Williamson - SNS Group

8. Leigh Griffiths
Like Shankland, someone who was involved in squads until recently. His form this term would make it doubtful he'll return, but if Clarke wants someone who can change a game with one swing of a boot... Photo: Craig Williamson - SNS Group
