Liverpool teenager Ben Doak included in provisional squad with fellow uncapped player Ross McCrorie
James Forrest and Ryan Jack also included in 28-man pool, with two being cut before the finals
Any Scotland players lacking in match sharpness will have the chance to prove they are fit enough in two friendlies prior to the Euros.
Steve Clarke's side will face Gibraltar in Portugal on 3 June before hosting Finland at Hampden four days later.

Not that he had much choice, but Steve Clarke must be crossing his fingers about the fitness and match sharpness of some of the players in his provisional squad.
Grant Hanley has played eight minutes since 6 March. Ryan Jack has not played first-team football since 7 March. Stuart Armstrong has not played since 20 April. And then there's Ben Doak, a flying machine when fit, which he hasn't been for a while.
Doak has not played for Liverpool since 14 December. Clarke must have had encouraging updates about him, though, or else he wouldn't be near this squad.

Andy Webster was the scorer for the Scots.
You're probably wondering why I'm bringing it up. Ben Doak was a day old.
You're welcome.
In the meantime, have your say on Scotland's 28-man squad.
Anyone you feel should be included? Who's lucky to be involved?

We'll have full coverage of that.
Ben Doak was born in 2005.
😂
Aside from that, it's probably as you'd expect. Right?
The other big calls are recalls for a resurgent James Forrest and Ryan Jack, who has struggled for minutes this term.
And Ross McCrorie, also uncapped, is the second pick at right-wing back.
What a moment for the Bristol City man.
Ben Doak hasn't played since December. He's uncapped.
No-one will care about that when he scores seven against Gibraltar.
Remember, it's a 28-man provisional squad.
That will have to be cut to 26 for the finals.
BEN DOAK!
Goalkeepers: Angus Gunn (Norwich City), Zander Clark (Hearts), Craig Gordon (Hearts), Liam Kelly (Motherwell).
Defenders: Andy Robertson (Liverpool), Kieran Tierney (Real Sociedad), Jack Hendry (Al Ettifaq), Ryan Porteous (Watford), Liam Cooper (Leeds United), Scott McKenna (FC Copenhagen), Grant Hanley (Norwich City), Greg Taylor (Celtic), John Souttar (Rangers), Anthony Ralston (Celtic), Ross McCrorie (Bristol City).
Midfielders: Callum McGregor (Celtic), Ryan Christie (Bournemouth), Billy Gilmour (Brighton & Hove Albion), John McGinn (Aston Villa), Kenny McLean (Norwich City), Scott McTominay (Manchester United), Stuart Armstrong (Southampton), Ryan Jack (Rangers).
Forwards: Lyndon Dykes (Queen's Park Rangers), Che Adams (Southampton), Lawrence Shankland (Hearts), Ben Doak (Liverpool), James Forrest (Celtic).
ONE more minute, I hope so anyway.
How we feeling?
THREE minutes.
If this is how I feel about a squad announcement, I don't want to know what state I'll be in by 14 June.
The BBC pundits have made their Scotland squad picks - you've got five minutes or so to have a swatch.
Should resurgent Celtic winger James Forrest earn a recall? What about the right-back dilemma?
Should there be a fourth forward? It's all there...
Nine minutes.
Image source, Getty ImagesLet us rewind three years when Steve Clarke named his Euro 2020 set-up.
Injuries and an increased squad size to 26 opened the door for young trio Billy Gilmour, Nathan Patterson and David Turnbull to feature as surprise entries in the Scotland squad.
Major tournament experience was certainly beneficial to Gilmour and Patterson, who have since gone on to gain a combined 34 caps, so perhaps Clarke will look to repeat that.
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.
Teenager Doak, lightning quick and fearless, certainly offers Clarke a different profile. He has only played six games for the Anfield side this term and has not featured since suffering a serious injury in December, but he recently returned to training.
Bristol City striker Tommy Conway, 21, is another potential option. He has netted 12 club goals this season, two of which came in the FA Cup against West Ham.
That tally is almost double the amount scored by fellow Championship striker Dykes, who has seven this term for Queens Park Rangers.
Thirteen minutes to go. Thirteen.
Surely two of the 28 spots have to go to right-backs?
Anthony Ralston has featured in the last two squads in the absence of Aaron Hickey, so you have to imagine he's one.
The other is up for debate. Ross McCrorie? Recalls for Liam Palmer or Stephen O'Donnell? Tino Livramento feels like a longshot.
But what about Max Johnston? The Sturm Graz full-back has had limited minutes in Austria but claimed a league and cup double in his debut season.
Richard Foster, who worked with Johnston at Motherwell, feels the 20-year-old could be the answer.
"He came back to Motherwell and he transformed himself into a machine," Foster said on the Scottish Football Podcast.
"He was brilliant - great pace, great energy, great change of direction and change of speed.
"Technically, he's good enough, but I still think there's more improvement from him."
Uncapped Liverpool teenager Ben Doak is a shock inclusion in Steve Clarke’s provisional Scotland squad for Euro 2024.
The 18-year-old is yet to start a Premier League match and has recently resumed training after a knee operation in December.
Celtic winger James Forrest is recalled nearly three years since his last international appearance and there is a place for uncapped Bristol City defender Ross McCrorie.
The 28-man list must be trimmed to 26 by 7 June.
Head coach Clarke retains four goalkeepers, including veteran Craig Gordon, with one expected to be cut.
Scotland warm up with friendlies against Gibraltar and Finland before opening the tournament against hosts Germany on 14 June.
Scotland’s other Group A opponents are Switzerland and Hungary.
Seventeen of those chosen were Clarke picks at the delayed Euro 2020.
McCrorie, 26, has been in senior squads before and the versatile former Rangers and Aberdeen player was a fixture at Under-21 level, playing 20 times over a four-year period.
He missed the first half of this campaign through injury but has since been a regular for Bristol City, filling in at right-back, wing-back and central defence.
Doak has two goals in six Under-21 outings for his country.
He made three Europa League starts and one in the EFL Cup in the early part of the season, along with a cameo on the opening day of the Premier League campaign.
Scotland have lost Aaron Hickey, Nathan Patterson and Lewis Ferguson to injuries, while there must be concerns over Doak, Grant Hanley, Stuart Armstrong and Ryan Jack.
Southampton midfielder Armstrong is recovering from a hamstring problem sustained last month, while defender Hanley was an unused substitute in both legs of Norwich City’s play-off loss, having missed most of the season with an Achilles issue.
Jack has not played for Rangers since early March.
How the Scotland squad was announced
Doak, Hanley and Jack are not the only ones with limited game time this term.
The absence of Hickey and Patterson has propelled Anthony Ralston to the front of the right-back queue.
However, the 25-year-old with eight caps has only started eight games for Celtic in all competitions.
Liam Cooper is an influential dressing room character for Leeds and Scotland but has started just eight league games.
At the age of 41, Gordon, the second choice goalkeeper at the last Euros, has managed a mere seven matches since breaking his leg in December 2022.
Forrest made only three Celtic starts prior to April. However, he was reinstated for four post-split Premiership matches, scoring three goals and providing one assist, to go with a goal and assist in the Scottish Cup semi-final.
At the other end of the scale, Aston Villa captain John McGinn has played in 61 matches for club and country.
McGinn has an impressive 18 goals from 64 caps, placing him fifth on Scotland's all-time scorers list.
Scott McTominay hit a magnificent seven in qualifying, with only Romelu Lukaku, Cristiano Ronaldo, Kylian Mbappe and Harry Kane scoring more. The powerful midfielder also reached double figures for Manchester United.
Che Adams may have gone 10 internationals without finding the net but his haul of 18 has helped take Southampton to the Premier League play-off final.
And then there's Lawrence Shankland, who must be brimming with confidence after banging in 31 goals for Hearts and picking up the PFA Scotland player of the year.
As far as creatures of habit go, Clarke would give a house cat a run for its money.
The rumours that he was on the verge of picking Aberdeen’s Connor Barron always seemed a little fanciful, but then so, too, did the chat of Doak being included.
Doak hasn’t played for Liverpool since mid-December, but you can see why Clarke is keen to have a look at him. He’s a flyer and he offers something different.
His level of fitness must be decent, even if he’s not been appearing for what was Jurgen Klopp’s side. Doak is the bolter.
One goalkeeper and one other player will lose out when this squad is cut from 28 to 26. Doak still has a lot of work to do, but his inclusion is exciting.
It almost - almost - takes your mind off the fact Hickey, Ferguson and Patterson are missing. Right-back, or right wing-back, remains an issue to keep the Tartan Army awake at night.
There are rustiness concerns over Hanley, Armstrong and Jack, but Clarke has gone with the tried and tested, while crossing his fingers that they’ll be ready.
Forrest’s late surge with Celtic - and injuries elsewhere - has got him in. A few weeks ago he was kicking his heels on the Celtic bench and now look at him.
If Scotland in Germany can be as unbreakable as Forrest’s spirit then these championships should be a joy.
