Che Adams: The Leicester-born 29-year-old is a favourite of Scotland boss Steve Clarke. He moved to Torino two years ago after featuring in the Premier League with Southampton. This season, he has scored five goals in 24 appearances for his 16th-placed side.

Josh Doig: The 23-year-old from Edinburgh is at his second Serie A club, after moving from Verona to Sassuolo in 2024. Doig has made 22 appearances, 18 of them starts, this season for his 11th-placed side.

Lewis Ferguson: The midfielder started his career with local club Hamilton Academical then spent four seasons with Aberdeen before being sold to Bologna in 2022. Ferguson, who has 21 Scotland caps, became captain the following October and led his side to a Coppa Italia win last year. He has made 25 appearances this season for the eighth-placed side.

Billy Gilmour: The 24-year-old started his career with Rangers but moved to Chelsea while still a youth. After a loan at Norwich City, he moved to Brighton & Hove Albion before being sold to Napoli in 2024 – on the same day as Scotland team-mate McTominay. He helped Napoli win the league last season, but this term he has been limited to 12 appearances, only six of them starts.

Scott McTominay: The Lancaster-born midfielder came through Manchester United’s youth ranks and made 255 appearances for them before being sold to Napoli.

McTominay has made 31 appearances this season for his club, all but two of them starts, scoring nine times, for holders currently sitting fourth.

Lennon Miller: Born in Wishaw, the 19-year-old son of former Scotland striker Lee came through the youth ranks with Motherwell, making his debut just days after turning 16. After 76 appearances, he was sold to Udinese in August for a club-record fee. He has made 12 appearances, four of them starts for his 10th-placed team.
