Scottish Under-21s looking to seniors as inspiration

SCOTLAND Under-21s midfielder Lewis Ferguson will take huge inspiration from Steve Clarke’s squad’s European qualification when he and his teammates bid to make it a double.

Scotland will reach the Uefa European Under-21 Championship finals for the first time since 1996 if they beat Greece in Athens on Tuesday night.

Scot Gemmill’s squad shared a nation’s joy as they watched their senior counterparts reach the Euro 2020 finals with a penalty shootout victory over Serbia last Thursday, David Marshall saving the decisive kick from Aleksandar Mitrovic.
