St Mirren pair Keanu Baccus and Ryan Strain have been summoned by Australia for their opening two World Cup qualifiers this month.

The Socceroos, who reached the last 16 of the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, begin their bid to reach the 2026 finals when they host Bangladesh on 16 November and face Palestine in Kuwait five days later.

Saints striker Alex Greive is also bound for international duty, having been called up for New Zealand's friendlies in Greece and Ireland, while Conor McMenamin will join the Northern Ireland squad for their final two Euro 2024 qualifiers and Alex Gogic is set to do likewise with Cyprus.
