Scotland began their training camp with a match against Turkiye on Tuesday, 13 February. In a tight match, the Young Scots were level for large periods before a solitary goal from Turkiye earned them a 1-0 victory.

Latvia were the next opponents three days later and Scotland would come flying out of the blocks on this occasion. A first half hat-trick from Aberdeen youngster Alfie Bavidge had Scotland 3-0 in front at half-time and a Rudi Allan Molotnikov strike in second half secured a 4-0 victory.

Scotland had defeated Serbia and Andorra, and drew with hosts Bulgaria to top their qualifying group in November and qualify for the Elite Round.
