More surprising is the ommission of Kris Boyd, who has taken his season's goal-scoring tally to 16, but the striker has been passed over in favour of Falkirk's Darryl Duffy.
Bonhof also chose to leave out Peter Leven and Steven Naismith, which must augur well for Scotland's future if players in their level of form can't even get in the squad.
Bonhof's team are looking for their first win in over a year.
