Clarke will likely have clocked that Devlin and mckenna looked excellent together at the start of the season and has called him up more to see how he fits in with the squad etc. Clarke himself said is was a big squad that he expects to thin by a few closer to the time.
Regardless though I think it's very encouraging to see the national manager picking players on form regardless of their club Jersey and long may it continue. I know a lot of you out there ain't so keen on following Scotland, and that's fair enough support whoever you want, but I support Scotland as much as I do the dons and I'm really excited by Clarke getting the job. Truth be told I've never been so happy about a Scotland appointment before. Fingers crossed there could be some good times ahead, we really need Griffiths back though.
