MacKenzie joins Nicky Devlin, a teammate from the Dons, who might earn his first cap in addition to McCracken, McCrorie, Andy Irving, and Liam Lindsay.

Jack MacKenzie and Aberdeen in top form

With a perfect record in the Premiership and victories in all of their league games thus far, the Dons are maintaining their lead above Celtic in the standings.

With 13 straight victories across all competitions, the 24-year-old left-back has participated in every game for Jimmy Thelin’s team and earned his first international opportunity.

After spending four seasons in and around the Pittodrie first team, he has now elevated his game to a new level of consistency over the last two seasons, earning him a first pick.

Scotland in the Nations League

In the first game of their double header on Saturday, Steve Clarke’s team travels to Croatia, and on Tuesday night, they play Portugal at Hampden.

Scotland lost to Portugal and Poland during the most recent international break, and as a result, they are currently ranked last in League A Group 1.

It will be hoped that some rookies can come up to the plate and help pick up the first points of the year with a rather expiremental squad.
