Kenneth Vargas is with the Costa Rica Under-23s with Aidan Denholm and Alex Lowry in the Scotland Under-21 squad. Lewis Neilson, currently on loan at Partick Thistle, is also there.

A number of key internationals, whether it be at first-team or youth level, as well as friendlies will be played over the next week.

The Hearts stars who have been called up will be hoping for international recognition, whether it is for the first time or to add to their caps.

Here is a rundown of all the games the players could feature in (all UK time):

Zander Clark

The 31-year-old is a regular in the Scotland squad but has had to play second fiddle to Craig Gordon and now Angus Gunn. He is still waiting for his first cap which could arrive on Tuesday when Scotland face France in a friendly in Lille. Before then they have a Euro 2024 qualifier against Spain in Seville. A draw would see Scotland confirm their place at next year's tournament.

Spain v Scotland - Thursday, October 12 (7.45pm)

France v Spain - Tuesday, October 17 (7.45pm)

Kye Rowles

Graham Arnold picked the centre-back but left Cammy Devlin out of the squad, while Nathaniel Atkinson is out injured and Calem Nieuwenhof is set to be part of Australia's Under-23 squad when they try to qualify for the Olympics. Rowles, who has 11 caps, has played at both centre-back and left-back for the Socceroos. They have a friendly double header in England.

England v Australia - Friday, October 13 (7.45pm)

Australia v New Zealand - Tuesday, October 17 (7.45pm)

Kenneth Vargas

The forward signed by Hearts in the summer earned his first full cap last month in a defeat to the UAE. With no games arranged for the national team he is in Claudio Vivas' Under-23 squad for two matches against Colombia. 

Costa Rica v Colombia - Sunday, October 15 (3am)

Costa Rica v Colombia - Wednesday, October 18 (12am)

Alex Lowry, Aidan Denholm, Lewis Neilson

Scotland Under-21s have two important Euro 2025 qualifiers coming up at Fir Park. They will be looking to respond to the opening fixture loss to Spain. Neilson has the most caps out of the trio with four and has been a regular for Partick Thistle this season. Lowry will be hoping to add to his sole cap, while Denholm was called up this week for the first time.
