Pocognoli focus on Scotland tidy-up as Euros loom

After an autumn camp full of fresh faces, including Pocognoli and much of his backroom team, the Belgian will greet another with the call-up of Penrice.

The left-back has excelled since joining Rangers on loan from AEK Athens in August, particularly in recent weeks, with Derek McInnes occasionally utilising the versatile 27-year-old in midfield.

"We have some missing players around the left side and, combined with his quality and what we are looking for on the pitch, it's a logical choice," Pocognoli said of Penrice's inclusion.

"He can be very useful for the system we want to play, and I think he deserves it."
