Graham & Ure make Pocognoli's first Scotland squad
Stoke City centre-half Luke Graham and Sevilla striker Robbie Ure are set to receive their first full Scotland call-ups on Tuesday, when new head coach Sebastien Pocognoli names his inaugural squad in charge of the national team. The selections mark a fresh start for both players, who have previously featured at youth international level but have not been included in a senior Scotland roster.
Graham, who has established himself as a regular starter for Stoke City in the Championship, brings defensive solidity to the back line, while Ure, currently plying his trade in La Liga with Sevilla, offers attacking depth up front. Their inclusion signals Pocognoli's intent to blend experienced internationals with emerging talent as he begins his tenure at the helm of the Scottish setup.
The squad announcement on Tuesday will set the tone for Pocognoli's first period in charge, with the new management team looking to establish a competitive identity ahead of upcoming international fixtures. Both Graham and Ure will join a group of players who will be assessed during the preparation period as Scotland prepares for its next competitive commitments.
