Scotland Men's Under-21 Head Coach Scot Gemmill has finalised the squad for his side's important qualifier against Kazakhstan later this month. 

Scotland will host Kazakhstan at the SMiSA Stadium, on Thursday, 21 March, with the game scheduled to kick off at 7pm.

Gemmill's young Scots are currently sitting second behind Spain in Group B at the halfway point in qualification for the UEFA EURO 2025 finals.

After a narrow 1-0 defeat to Spain in Jaen, Scotland bounced back by winning back-to-back matches at Fir Park against Hungary and Malta. They then defeated Belgium 2-0 in Roeselare to record a statement win, before drawing 0-0 in Budapest against Hungary. 

In the qualification process, the nine group winners qualify automatically for next year's finals in Slovakia, with the three best runners-ups also qualifying and the other runners-up facing off in play-offs.

Following this test in Paisley, Scotland will then host Belgium and Spain and face Kazakhstan and Malta away later in the year. 

After an injury-hit camp in November, Scotland are boosted by the returns of a number of key players. Bristol City's Tommy Conway and SK Sturm Graz's Max Johnston are back, while Josh Doig is also included after being a part of Steve Clarke's A squad in November. 

Lewis Fiorini - on loan at Charlton from Manchester City - is back from a lengthy spell on the sidelines and returns to the squad, with Josh Mulligan also involved after missing the last double header.

Ben Doak is a notable absentee with the Liverpool youngster continuing his recovery from a knee injury suffered in December. Jeremiah Mullen, another ever-present during this campaign, also misses out after suffering an injury playing for Inverness Caledonian Thistle, on loan from Leeds United.
