THE Netherlands squad to face Scotland in next week's international friendly at Pittodrie has been named.
Former Rangers manager Dick Advocaat will lead the Dutch on Thursday 9 November before they face Romania five days later in Bucharest.
An experienced squad features Barcelona goalkeeper Jasper Cillessen, Manchester United's Daley Blind, former Celtic defender Virgil van Dijk and Georginio Wijnaldum of Liverpool.
Bournemouth defender Nathan Ake and veteran midfielder Wesley Sneijder have also received call-ups after a disappointing World Cup campaign for the Oranje.

The Netherlands failed in their bid to reach Russia 2018 after finishing third in their qualifying gorup behind France and Sweden.
It is the second major tournament in a row that they will miss out on, having failed to qualify for Euro 2016 last summer.
