Sheffield United midfielder John Fleck is set to be called up to the Scotland squad for October's Euro 2020 qualifiers against Russia and San Marino, Sky Sports News understands.
Fleck has made five Premier League appearances for the Blades this season and was an essential part of their promotion from the Championship last campaign.
The 28-year-old has not yet been capped for the senior side despite previously playing four times at U21 level.
The former Rangers and Coventry City man missed out on Steve Clarke's squad at the end of last season due to it clashing with his wedding, before being injured for September's double header.
Fleck has previously been part of a squad under former manager Alex McLeish but did not feature in any matches.
