The 62-year-old has named a strong 26-man group, including the likes of Liverpool's Konstantinos Tsimikas, Christos Tzolis of Club Brugge and in-form Benfica forward Vangelis Pavlidis.

Full Greece squad for Scotland Nations League play-off...

Goalkeepers: Vlachodimos, Mandas, Tzolakis.

Defenders: Mavropanos, Hatzdiakos, Retsos, Koulierakis, Rota, Vagiannidis, Giannoulis, Tsimikas.

Midfielders: Siopis, Zafeiris, Mantalos, Kourbelis, Mouzakitis, Alexandropoulos.

Forwards: Masouras, Pelkas, Tzolis, Konstantelias, Ioannidis, Pavlidis, Douvikas, Chatzigiovanis, Karetsas.

It remains to be seen who Clarke will include in his squad. Striker Lyndon Dykes is out injured, with Aaron Hickey not yet back to full fitness.

Scotland will be looking to kick off 2025 in a positive fashion after they secured a memorable 2-1 win over Poland at the end of last year thanks to captain Andy Robertson's late header.
