Hibernian striker Marc McNulty has won his first Scotland call-up for the opening Euro 2020 qualifiers against Kazakhstan and San Marino.

McNulty, who is on loan at Hibernian from Reading, is rewarded for his good form in the Scottish Premiership this season. He has scored five goals and registered two assists for Hibs.

He joins Oli McBurnie, Oliver Burke and Johnny Russell as the forward options amid the absence of the likes of Leigh Griffiths, Steven Fletcher and Steven Naismith.
