What would nearly brand new Scotland XI look like?

[BBC] There is a freshness about Scotland as the Nations League campaign approaches. Sebastien Pocognoli is the new head coach and there is a cohort of uncapped players in his first squad, plus a few who have very few caps. So, what would the least inexperienced Scotland XI selected from that squad look like? Bradford City's Jon McCracken, who left Dundee this summer, would be in goal. In defence, Celtic's Colby Donovan, Brondby's Luis Binks, Swansea's Stephen Welsh and Stoke's Luke Graham could make up a whole new back four, or a back three with Donovan at wing-back on his natural right side. Hearts wide man Josh McPake and Blackburn midfielder Kristi Montgomery are the debutant midfield options for Pocognoli, while Udinese's Lennon Miller is the least internationally experienced midfielder of those in the squad previously capped. Up front, Hearts' James Wilson and Sassuolo's Kieron Bowie each have two caps, but no starts, while Sevilla's Robbie Ure is in line for a first Scotland appearance. Such a starting XI would omit stalwarts such as Angus Gunn, Scott McKenna, and Billy Gilmour as well as captain Andy Robertson and John McGinn, who are nearing a century of caps each.
