Scotland v Czechia
UEFA Under-21 Championship Qualifying
Friday, 27 March 2026 (7:00pm kick-off, UK time)
Dens Park, Dundee

Scotland Men’s Under-21 continue their European Championship Qualifying campaign with Friday night football at Dens Park, Dundee.

The squad will then make the trip to Iberia and Estådio António Coimbra da Mota, Estoril to face group B leaders Portugal. Tickets for Dens Park are still available here, while Scotland Supporters Club (SSC) members go free.

The young Scots finished off 2025 on a high, as they secured a vital 6 points with back-to-back wins against Gibraltar on the Rock and Bulgaria at Fir Park.

Scotland have been gathering some momentum in the group as the squad develops and grows.

Scotland currently sit in the play-off spot of Group B and will be looking to consolidate their position in the group in two big ties.

Team News

Scot Gemmill drafted in three replacements as Kristi Montgomery, Cameron Bragg, and Colby Donovan dropped out to be replaced by Ryan Carr, Taylor Steven and Josh Dede.

Tyler Fletcher has been selected for the Scotland Under-21 squad for the first time, having made his Premier League debut for Manchester United against Tottenham Hotspur earlier this season.

Scottish Gas Scottish Cup Semi-Finalist Andrew Tod has also retained his place in the Under-21 squad, with his continued impressive form for Dunfermline Athletic, having made his debut in the previous set of fixtures.

Pre-match thoughts

Returning to Dundee for the second time in this campaign, Luke Graham caught up with us to talk through his rise from Lochee United to Premiership regular, and a key role in the Scotland Under-21 setup.

He said; “It’s been really good, it’s been a long time coming. I’ve had to be patient and play elsewhere before I came back, but the manager’s given me a real opportunity and I’ve just been repaying him the favour so far.”

“I’ve not really been a part of the Scotland set-up before so it’s been a bit new to me, but I’ve really enjoyed it, travelling to different places, seeing different countries and how they like to style their football.”

“Czechia are a big physical team I think a lot of them are playing a lot of men’s football at the moment which helps them. When we played them in the first game we were still getting to know each other well and I think we’ve come on leaps and bounds since then, so I think it’ll be a really good game for the fans.”
