Graham and Juhl will be called up for the first time in Scotland's new squad.

Scotland's new national team manager, Sebastien Pocognoli, will officially announce his first senior squad on Tuesday.

Amid the team's rejuvenation efforts, Stoke City center-back Luke Graham and Sevilla striker Robbie Ure both achieved significant breakthroughs in their national team careers, receiving their first ever call-up to the squad.

The 22-year-old Graham had an outstanding season at Dundee, winning both the club's Player of the Year and Young Player of the Year awards. After moving to Championship side Stoke City, he quickly established himself as a regular starter and played every game, helping the team achieve a four-game unbeaten run recently. His solid defensive performance has impressed the coaching staff.

The 22-year-old striker, Juhl, was in excellent form while playing for Sirius in Sweden, delivering an impressive record of 20 goals and 3 assists in 20 appearances. He then joined Sevilla in La Liga this summer for £5.5 million.

Since Yul is also eligible to represent Ukraine, Poconioli quickly recruited him, aiming to establish his national team affiliation as soon as possible and enrich the national team's attacking tactics.

Following the resignation of former manager Steve Clarke, the Belgian coach shoulders the responsibility of injecting fresh blood into the Scottish national team. His approach of promoting young talent is widely viewed favorably, with Hearts' in-form attacking midfielder also expected to be included.

Pocognoli will make his managerial debut on September 26 in the UEFA Nations League match against Slovenia, followed by a game against Switzerland at Hampden Park.
