Sitting in second place in Group B of the under-21 European Championship qualifiers, the Tartan Army’s next generation are on the cusp of ending a 28-year exile from the tournament - should they defeat their Belgian counterparts in the capital.

Currently six points behind group leaders Spain, the young Scots occupy second place on 16 points ahead of the Belgians, who are on the same number of points but trail on head-to-head record (Scotland won the away clash 2-0).
