Findlay will replace Liam Cooper in the squad, after the Leeds United centre-half pulled out due to inury. it is the second time that the Kilmarnock defender has been included in the national set-up after Clarke called up Findlay in the summer for the matches against Cyprus and Belgium.
The 24-year-old has never been capped for the senior Scotland team but has made 13 appearances for the under-21 side.
