CANADA have named a trio of SPFL stars in their squad to face Scotland on Wednesday.

Caretaker Mike Findlay, who will step aside to be replaced by new boss Octavio Zambrano following the friendly at Easter Road, has named an 18-man group, with Dundee’s Marcus Haber in line to spearhead the attack for the Canuck’s.

Falkirk duo Fraser Aird and Luca Gasparotto have also made the cut, with the latter expected to win his maiden senior cap.

Former Bairn Scott Arfield, who boasts 17 under-21 appearances for Scotland, has also been included and will face the nation of his birth, with the English Premier League star seeking to show Gordon Strachan what he is missing.

Canada squad to face Scotland: Thomas (Bodø/Glimt), Ledgerwood (FC Edmonton), James (Vasas Budapest), Lefèvre (Montreal Impact), Gasparotto (Falkirk), Piette (Izarra), Hoilett (Cardiff City), Trafford (Sandecja Nowy Sacz), Bustos (Vancouver Whitecaps), Jackson (Walsall), Haber (Dundee), Aird (Falkirk), Fisk (FC Edmonton), Corbin-Ong (Frankfurt), Straith (FC Edmonton), Arfield (Burnley), Tissot (DC United), Leutwiler (Shrewsbury Town)
