Scotland have recalled defenders Scott McKenna and Jack Hendry, goalkeeper Jon McLaughlin and striker Oli McBurnie for next week's Nations League trip to Israel and a friendly against Portugal.
Aberdeen centre-back McKenna and Swansea striker McBurnie return after missing the matches with Belgium and Albania with injuries.
Sunderland keeper Jon McLaughlin takes over from Millwall's Jordan Archer.
There is no place for Hibernian winger Martin Boyle, a target for Australia.
The 25-year-old is expected to be called up by the Socceroos for a friendly against Kuwait despite interest from Scotland boss Alex McLeish.
Aberdeen-born Boyle, whose father Graeme was born in Sydney, would only be fully committed to Australia once he has played a competitive international.
Scotland, who beat Albania 2-0 in their opening Nations League match, travel to face Israel next Thursday, 11 October, in Haifa before hosting Portugal in a friendly three days later.
As well as Archer, Rangers midfielder Ryan Jack and Cardiff City full-back or midfielder Callum Paterson drop out of the squad.
