Sunderland striker Steven Fletcher and Manchester United midfielder Darren Fletcher were both included in the Scotland squad for the World Cup qualifiers against Wales and Belgium.
Steven Fletcher has not featured for his country since he told the Scottish Football Association via text message he did not wish to be selected for a game against Northern Ireland in February 2011.
But the 25-year-old, who has scored five Premier League goals for Sunderland in just four appearances since a £12m transfer in August, has returned after holding clear-the-air talks with Scotland boss Craig Levein on Monday.
Darren Fletcher makes his comeback after a lengthy spell on the sidelines with a chronic bowel condition, having played his first game in eight months for Manchester United in the Champions League two weeks ago.

He then started for the Red Devils as captain in the 2-1 Capital One Cup defeat of Newcastle United last week.
However it is Steven Fletcher's inclusion which is most notable, after it appeared Levein was no closer to a breakthrough with the striker following last month's qualifiers at Hampden Park against Serbia and Macedonia.
But the former Hearts manager described the player's return as a "no-brainer" following the involvement of an unnamed third party.
He said: "It's a big plus for me and the rest of the team for him to be involved. I got a phone call through a third party during the week and that was an indication from that person that Steven was desperate to come back and play.
"Things progressed between myself, this third party, his agent and the boy himself. I got a text saying he was willing to have a chat about it so I called him last night and, as he said to that person, he was desperate to come back and play. For me, then, it's a no-brainer."
