Scotland manager Steve Clarke has invited four promising youngsters to join the national team's pre-World Cup preparations, bolstering training numbers ahead of the tournament. Hearts pair James Wilson and Liam McFarlane, Dundee's Luke Graham, and Manchester United's Tyler Fletcher will integrate with the senior squad at various points as club commitments conclude.

The selections offer valuable exposure for emerging talent. Wilson, who became Scotland's youngest-ever male debutant in March 2025 at 19, spent the second half of this season on loan at Tottenham Hotspur. McFarlane, 21, featured on loan with Alloa Athletic and will travel to the United States as a training goalkeeper. Graham, 22, earned a SPFL young player of the year nomination, while Fletcher, 19, broke into Manchester United's senior setup.

Clarke explained the approach helps manage staggered arrivals from domestic seasons while evaluating prospects on the radar. The experience provides insight into senior squad demands, surrounding young players with top professionals. These training opportunities could prove pivotal for future international careers as Scotland builds toward World Cup competition.
