Ritchie, Naismith start for Scotland

Matt Ritchie and Steven Naismith have both been named in Scotland's starting lineup for their friendly against Qatar at Easter Road this evening.

The Bournemouth winger picks up his third cap for Gordon Strachan's side, having made his debut earlier this year, while the Everton striker is partnered by James McArthur up front.

Meanwhile, James Forrest returns after missing March's win over Gibraltar, while Celtic's Scott Brown wears the captain's armband for the home side.

For the 2022 World Cup hosts, Karim Boudiaf comes into the starting lineup after scoring in the team's 1-1 draw with Northern Ireland last weekend.

Scotland: Marshall, Anya, Forsyth, Greer, Mulgrew, Maloney, Forrest, Brown, Naismith, McArthur, Ritchie

Qatar: Amine, Fadlalla, Mohammded, Thaimn, Alhaydos, Mohamed, Tresor, Boudiaf, Elsayed, Aldelrhman, Muntari
