Scotland World Cup squad: striker Ross Stewart selected after four-year absence

Southampton striker Ross Stewart, 29, has been named in Scotland's 26-man World Cup squad after a four-year international absence, with manager Steve Clarke rewarding his strong end-of-season form in which he scored five goals in 10 games as Southampton reached the playoff final. Stewart's last Scotland appearance was a substitute role in a Nations League match against Armenia. Notable absentees from the squad include Miller and McBurnie, while veteran goalkeeper Craig Gordon, 43, has made the cut.
