The forward - ruled out by injury last month - returns to the fold to face Croatia and Portugal
He comes back into the national set-up after injury forced him to pull out before the Nations League defeats to Poland and Portugal last month. The forward returns for the games with Croatia and the Portuguese buoyed by a stunning start to life in Serie A with Torino. Adams, along with Lyndon Dykes, has been one of Steve Clarke ’s go-to strikers in recent years.
There has been a lot of self-reflection from the Scotland players and management team since the summer of disappointment in Germany. Clarke has also been looking for answers and Adams assured him the quality is in the squad to turn their fortunes around. Adams said: “The Euros weren’t that great for the team and I wasn’t that great. The manager played me in three games and so he trusted me. That is something I will always appreciate. The first game I was pulled at half-time but that was because of Ryan’s red card.
He said: “It was hard. I took a fair few weeks after it before I made the decision on my future. It had been a long season. “We had the Championship and then it was the Euros. It was really hard. You question everything, ‘What have we done wrong?’ and ‘What can we do better?’.
