Starting against Brazil
McKenna (undisclosed) is in the starting XI for Wednesday's clash with Brazil.
Analysis: McKenna is back in the starting XI for Wednesday's showdown with Brazil. The defender has yet to play in the World Cup, but he's now fit and slots straight into the starting XI. The fact he was thrown into the starting XI shows just how important McKenna is for this side in central defense. McKenna and co. need a win to guarantee their spot in the final 32.
In contention for Brazil clash
McKenna (calf) missed both of Scotland's opening group stage fixtures with the calf injury but has been training this week in North Carolina and is in contention to feature against Brazil, according to the federation.
Analysis: McKenna's return to training is an encouraging development for coach Steve Clarke heading into a crucial fixture where Scotland's qualification hopes could be confirmed. The center-back's potential availability gives Clarke an experienced defensive option to call upon in what promises to be a demanding clash against the South American side. Scotland will need a strong defensive performance against Brazil, making McKenna's fitness one of the more closely watched developments ahead of the group stage finale.
