The Victory Shield gets underway on Sunday and Scotland Under-16s are in action in the tournament opener against Northern Ireland. 

Stuart Glennie's side are the joint holders of the historic shield and fans will be able to watch their matches, with all games set to be streamed online. 

The young Scots follow up their game against Northern Ireland with a match two days later against Wales, before our campaign concludes against Republic of Ireland on Friday.

Previous meetings

Scotland were joint victors in last year's Shield which took place in Belfast.

An opening day 1-0 victory against Republic of Ireland was followed up with a narrow 1-0 defeat to Northern Ireland, before Scotland claimed a share of the title with a 2-0 win over Wales in the final match. 

Pre-tournament thoughts

Scotland Under-16 head coach Stuart Glennie:"It very much is a prestigious tournament so from that point of view, when you look at the famous shield and look at how far it goes back, you see how much history it has.

"We did well last year and it’s always a good tournament for us to go and play against other nations in a week-long intense environment - it’s great for the players development.

"Even if you talk about Nathan Patterson and Billy Gilmour – those guys played in the Victory Shield and the likes of Dean Campbell, Calvin Ramsay and Ben Doak - they were all playing in the Victory Shield over the last number of years.

"Sometimes when you’ve been involved in it for so long, you forget the fact that these guys are pulling on the Scotland strip for the first time – there’s real pride in it.

"For me, it’s often when you see the parents and the families come to watch them, you realise how hard these young kids have worked."
