Under-17 squad named for Japan friendlies

National youth teams coach Scot Gemmill has named a 22-player Scotland Under-17 squad for two friendly fixtures against Japan in Spain later this month.

Aberdeen midfielder Seb Ross and striker Lewis Hutchison have been named in the squad. Both Seb and Lewis are full time at Pittodrie and play for Scott Anderson’s U17s as well as being involved with the U20s.

Scotland will take on their Japanese counterparts on Friday, 24 February before the sides meet again two days later. The matches will offer Scotland the chance to finalise preparations ahead of hosting next month’s UEFA European Under-17 Championship Elite Round group.
