UEFA Under-17 Qualifying Round Czech Republic v Scotland Centenary Stadium, Ta’Qali Tuesday, 25 October (10am kick off - UK time)

Head coach Brian McLaughlin has named a 20-strong squad as his Scotland Under-17 side head to Malta to compete in a UEFA Qualifying Round later this month.

The young Scots will be looking to emulate the Under-17 side who reached the European Championships in Israel earlier this year, as they begin the qualification campaign ahead of next year's finals in Hungary.

While several members of that group have graduated to the Under-18s, this squad still includes a number of players who competed in Israel in May.

Scotland begin their campaign against hosts Malta on Wednesday 19, October, before taking on Northern Ireland three days later, on Saturday 22, October.

Our campaign concludes with a match against Czech Republic on Tuesday, 25 October.
