Donald Park has named his first Scotland Under-19 squad for an international tournament in Serbia at the start of September.
Hibs’ duo Ryan Porteous and Fraser Murray who have both featured in the first team recently are included along with Hearts’ pair Daniel Baur and Callumn Morrison.
The 20 man squad also features a number of players that recently played in the Under-17 European Championships in Croatia including Norwich’s Glenn Middleton, Jack Aitchison of Celtic and Jonny Mitchell of Falkirk.
Donald Park will be assisted by Darren Jackson with Gordon Marshall joining as goalkeeping coach.
