New Scotland head coach Sebastien Pocognoli omitted the 30-year-old center-back ahead of a four-match schedule beginning with an away fixture against Slovenia. Hyam, who holds four international caps, affirmed his determination to earn a recall.

Hyam previously made Steve Clarke's squad for the 2026 World Cup finals but remained an unused substitute across matches against Brazil, Morocco, and Haiti.
