The talented midfielder has replaced injured club colleague Fraser Fyvie in the squad for the match in Paisley.
Hull-born Pawlett qualifies for Scotland through residency rules, and has become an integral part of the Dons first team following a torrid year blighted by injuries.

Brown said: “I spoke the Scotland under-21 manager Billy Stark and he said Peter will probably get part of the game against Norway.
“It’s great for him and thoroughly deserved."
