Clarke said: “It’s good to get as many of your better players in the squad as possible.
“Scott (McTominay) is certainly one of those so it is good to have him back.”

Clarke added: “When you name a squad there is still 11 days until match day so plenty of time, a couple of games.
“Callum (McGregor) is in that situation, Stuart Armstrong is in a similar situation but I am hoping that they will both get some minutes over the next couple of games and be fit and available to join the squad.
“The medical staff have been in constant touch, we know where the players are at and as always we will treat them as well as we can.”
The former Kilmarnock and West Brom boss was also pleased that the new member of his backroom staff, Austin MacPhee, the set-piece coach for Aston Villa, will finally join the squad after missing the last camp with Covid-19 issues.

He said: “Austin has recovered from Covid thankfully, so he will join us for the first time.
“He will bring something different to the staff, fresh ideas, which is good. As a coach, I always like to be challenged, I like to challenge the players so Austin will do that, he will bring in something different.
“Steven Naismith jumped in at the last minute to help out in the last camp and I have decided to keep Steven on the staff for this camp as well, he is a good conduit between myself and the players and obviously I have my trusted side-kick John Carver who does a great job for us.”
