Scott Gimmel bids to take the nation to its first U-21 Championship since 1996.
Scott Gimmel’s team faces Greece in a bid to reach their first major tournament since 1996.
It looks like a place in the European Under-21 Championship next summer will guarantee a win.
The young Scots managed to return from a 2-0 run to settle a draw with Croatia the last time, with goals from Connor McLennan and Glenn Middleton putting the team on top to qualify.
Middleton made a start this time around with the likes of Ross McCrory and Louis Ferguson.
Greece is fourth in the standings with 13 points and will present a difficult task to the fledgling Gemmill team. .
Success will ensure both major historic qualifications for the championship in a few days for the nation.
There is no doubt that Steve Clark’s first team will support the U-21 team after winning the European Championship 2020 last week in Serbia..
The feel of the occasion seems to have gripped the heads of the Scottish players struggling to prepare for it.
They turned down a few early chances, but Greece rode the wave, not really looking at a problem since taking the lead.
A whopping 45 minutes coming, the biggest in some players’ career so far. Stay tuned for the second half!
Scotland seemed to be satisfied with this goal of Greece, as if they hadn’t really expected to be tested here..
Not Louis Ferguson, though. He didn’t stop spinning around the field like a terrier and seemed to be the only Scottish player who could possibly have something remote from a distance.
As if Luka Jovi’s equalizer in the 89th minute and the subsequent penalty shootout on Thursday weren’t enough, the kids now put us in the center of the game..
Place in the first finals since 1996 on the line, and Scotland needs to regain its place and get back to that level.
Greece takes the lead as Christopoulos is in for a cross from the left. Disaster for Scotland!
Croatia’s goal against Lithuania puts Scotland third in the group. To go ahead tonight, they have to win, as it looks.
It was a positive start for Scott Gimmel’s side, who had already approached Hornby.
At the other end, a dangerous counter led by Botos ends with a strong effort over the bar.
