Billy Stark has named his Scotland Under-18 squad for the friendly meetings with Uzbekistan and France, which will take place in Spain.

Billy explained the thinking behind the reintroduction of the Under-18 age level as a bridge between the existing Under-17 and Under-19 squads – with 12 of the 20-strong group Scottish FA JD Performance School graduates.

Scotland will open against Uzbekistan on October 10 (12.30pm kick-off) at the Marbella Football Center, before pitting their wits against the French on October 12 (7pm kick-off) at the same venue.
