Scotland's Under 21s have a couple of games next week. The controversial game at New Douglas Park, Hamilton may hit the headlines for different reasons but it would be great if football skill forced it onto page one. Israel are the opponents on Wednesday, 4th September with the kick off due at 7:45. The game against Northern Ireland just two days later, on Friday 6th September, will be played at St Mirren Park, Paisley with a 7:15 kick off this time. For those that cannot make the games Sky Sports will be covering both live.
Coach Rainer Bonhof has added three players to the squad who took on Denmark, with Simon Lynch, Burton O'Brien and Stephen Pearson to the list. The full list is shown below.
