Graham, 22, has started strongly for The Potters in the Championship, where they are unbeaten in their last four games, and has three caps at under-21 level. Ure, also 22, was in demand across Europe after a free-scoring spell with Sirius in Sweden, which earned him a £5.5m summer transfer to La Liga with Sevilla. Graham was previously part of Scotland's pre-World Cup training camp in May, winning the Scottish Premiership club's players' player and young player of the year awards with Dundee. This selection is in line with the expectation that Pocognoli will look to freshen up an ageing squad, following Steve Clarke's resignation after Scotland failed to qualify for the knockout stages of a major tournament for the first time.
