Neither of the Sheffield Wednesday and Sheffield United players has appeared for Scotland before now.
Sheffield Wednesday’s Liam Palmer will make his Scotland debut against Kazakhstan on Thursday afternoon. However, Sheffield United’s John Fleck must wait for his, after being named on the bench in Nursultan.
Palmer has been playing on the left for Wednesday but returns to his usual right-back position for Alex Mcleish’s side – despite competition from capped pair Callum Paterson and Stephen O’Donnell.
The Sheffield Wednesday academy product was called up by his country for the very first time last week, with his Sheffield United rival making his second squad appearance.
Elsewhere, Celtic’s Scott Bain has been given the nod in goal, while Aberdeen’s Graeme Shinnie fills the left-back vacancy created by injuries to Andrew Robertson and Kieran Tierney.
This is how the Tartan Army line-up in their Euro 2020 qualifier:
First XI: Scott Bain (Celtic); Liam Palmer (Sheffield Wednesday), Scott McKenna (Aberdeen), David Bates (Hamburg), Graeme Shinnie (Aberdeen); Callum McGregor (Celtic), John McGinn (Aston Villa), James Forrest (Celtic), Stuart Armstrong (Southampton), Oliver Burke (Celtic); Oli McBurnie (Swansea City).
Subs: Jon McLaughlin (Sunderland), Liam Kelly (Livingston), Stephen O’Donnell (Kilmarnock), John Souttar (Hearts), Stuart Findlay (Kilmarnock), John Fleck (Sheffield United), Kenny McLean (Norwich City), Johnny Russell (Sporting Kansas City), Marc McNulty (Hibernian), Lewis Morgan (Sunderland), Scott McTominay (Manchester United).
