Four Scottish World Cup striker hopefuls finished the regular Championship season with a flourish to add to head coach Steve Clarke's potential selection dilemma. George Hirst, who has earned eight caps since his first call up just over a year ago, opened the scoring for Ipswich Town and set up the second for Jaden Philogene as they beat Queens Park Rangers 3-0 to secure second spot and promotion back to the Premier League. The recently recalled Tommy Conway opened the scoring for Middlesbrough as they drew 2-2 away to Wrexham to finish fifth and set up a semi-final against Southampton.
Liam Morrison is open-minded about what the future holds but believes Aberdeen fans are now seeing the best of him after a "tough" start to his Pittodrie career. The 23-year-old defender arrived on loan from Queens Park Rangers in January but hadn't played in over a month when he started his first game for the Dons. Morrison has since become a mainstay and is set for his sixth consecutive start in Friday night's trip to face Livingston.
