Andy Robertson has been confirmed as Scotland's new captain.
The Liverpool left-back, 24, takes over from Celtic midfielder Scott Brown, who retired from international duty for a second time earlier this year.
Meanwhile, Swansea striker Oli McBurnie has withdrawn from the squad to face Belgium and Albania.
Alex McLeish's team host the Belgians in a friendly on Friday before opening their Nations League campaign against visitors Albania next Monday.
McBurnie, 22, has scored four goals so far this season and a replacement will be called up by McLeish.
Champions League finalist Robertson, who finished as Scotland captain against Costa Rica in March, has won 22 international caps.
He scored his second Scotland goal in last year's win against Lithuania, having netted against England in 2014.
Defenders Charlie Mulgrew and Scott McKenna had skippered Alex McLeish's side in recent friendly matches.
