Aberdeen full-back Graeme Shinnie has been named in the Scotland squad for next month's crucial Euro 2016 qualifiers.

Gordon Strachan's men face Poland at Hampden on Thursday October 8 and take on Gibraltar in Faro three days later.

It's a first call-up for the 24-year-old former Inverness Caley Thistle player, who has made an outstanding start to his Pittodrie career.

Shinnie, who can operate at left-back or in midfield, helped the Dons notch up eight straight league wins before they lost at Inverness on Saturday.

Celtic's Craig Gordon, Charlie Mulgrew, Scott Brown, James Forrest and Leigh Griffiths have all been included in the 27-man squad.
