BBC Scotland looks at questions facing head coach Steve Clarke as he prepares to announce Scotland's Euro 2024 squad on Wednesday.

From a right-back dilemma and potential wildcard picks, to what an increased selection could mean, the head coach has some key questions facing him.Firstly, who's on the plane?Not so long ago, this was the same as asking: 'Who's fit to run about and kick a ball?'

That means there are some places up for grabs, but who is guaranteed a plane ticket? Judging by recent squads, we think at least 22 places are sealed. That leaves forward trio Che Adams, Lyndon Dykes and Lawrence Shankland to take our final guaranteed positions. Max Johnston, 20, is another option but has played far fewer minutes in his debut campaign at Austrian champions Sturm Graz.

Last week, Forrest, whose last cap came almost three years ago at Euro 2020, said he would play anywhere for Scotland. If he was to, who would be at the front of the line? Recent reports suggest Aberdeen midfielder Connor Barron and Liverpool forward Ben Doak are in his thoughts.
