Stoke striker Jacob Brown has won a surprise Scotland call-up for the final two group games in the World Cup qualifying campaign.

With Ryan Christie and Lyndon Dykes suspended for Scotland’s trip to Moldova, Brown has been added to a forward contingent which also features Che Adams, Kevin Nisbet and Ryan Fraser.

St Johnstone goalkeeper Zander Clark replaces Motherwell’s Liam Kelly, while Kieran Tierney has been selected despite an ankle injury.

The goalkeeper change and the addition of Brown are the only differences in Clarke’s squad from last month.

Former Barnsley player Brown, 23, has scored four goals in 19 appearances for Stoke this season.

Scotland need three points from games against Moldova in Chisinau on November 12 and Denmark at Hampden three days later, to guarantee a play-off place.
