The Scotland line-up selected by Steve Clarke for their first match of their Nations League A Group 1 campaign is along familiar lines with no debutants in the starting XI.

However, in the absence of injured regular left centre-back Kieran Tierney, it looks like a change from 3-5-2 to 4-4-2.

Angus Gunn continues in goal behind Anthony Ralston, Grant Hanley, Scott McKenna and captain Andy Robertson with Napoli pair Billy Gilmour and Scott McTominay in midfield alongside Kenny McLean. John McGinn and Ryan Christie support Lyndon Dykes in attack.

Uncapped Jon McCracken, Conor Barron, Ben Doak, Josh Doig, Ryan Gauld and Max Johnston are on the bench.

Barcelona forward Robert Lewandowski leads Poland while Southampton's Jan Bednarek is in defence.
