Scotland under-19s head coach Billy Stark has named the 20 players that will look to guide Scotland to the UEFA Under-19 European Championships this summer, as the squad prepares for UEFA Elite Round action in Portugal later this month.
Stark’s side will take on Turkey and Cyprus in addition to their hosts, with the group winners qualifying for this summer’s finals in Armenia.

A settled squad will once more look to Billy Gilmour and Dapo Mebude to provide a cutting edge, the pair having combined for four goals in the UEFA Qualifying Round in November last year.
