With Scotland, there's the Old Firm, and there's everyone else. If you play for Celtic or Rangers, you're in. If you're playing in the Premiership and doing well or getting regular minutes you're on the fringes of a call up. Theo Bair scored 15 this year for Motherwell so he's going to Copa America on form alone.
IMO Scottish Championship is a similar level as CPL.
Loturi is benefitting from the retirement of Hutchinson and the decline of Kaye. He's been in and out of the starting lineup over the last 2 years and probably needs one more year of starting regularly in the Scottish Premiership or a move up in quality to really break into the national team. He should have more caps for Canada but Herdman insisted on playing Bombito (who is having a great season with Colorado at CB and will be at Copa America) out of position at Gold Cup over him.
