Academy goalkeeper in line to represent Tartan Army

Scotland U19s Head Coach Billy Stark named a squad of 20 on Tuesday evening, with Leeds United Academy goalkeeper Rory Mahady included for their UEFA EURO 2024 Elite Round qualifiers.

It is the hosts, Italy, who are first up for Scotland, on Wednesday 20th March in Lignano Sabbiadoro, before they face Georgia three days later, in Manzano. The young Tartan Army round off their qualifying campaign against Czech Republic on Tuesday 26th March in the same location.

The young Scots reached this stage by topping the group in the first qualifying section in November. Stark's side defeated Serbia and Andorra, and drew with hosts Bulgaria to win their section.

Mahady has made 14 appearances for our U18s in all competitions, most recently playing a full 90 minutes in net as they defeated Liverpool to progress to the semi-finals of the FA Youth Cup.

The goalkeeper has also featured three times for Scotland's U19s this season, including the 3-1 win over Andorra, which helped them reach the Elite Round.
