James Wilson and Findlay Curtis have left the senior Scotland Nations League squad to link up with the under-21 national team. The two players departed their previous setup to bolster the younger age group ahead of their upcoming fixture.
The transition moves both prospects into the under-21 setup for their scheduled match against Azerbaijan. This fixture takes place on Wednesday, shifting the focus of Wilson and Curtis from senior international preparation to youth-level competition.
Dropping down from the Nations League setup highlights a strategic approach to managing international player pathways within the Scottish set-up, ensuring that rising talents secure vital competitive minutes at an appropriate developmental level rather than sitting on the senior bench.
For the under-21 side, the introduction of players with senior squad exposure provides a timely boost as they prepare to face Azerbaijan on Wednesday. The squad integration aims to sharpen the team's competitive edge for the upcoming challenge.
Looking ahead, both players will feature in Wednesday's match against Azerbaijan, after which their immediate international futures will depend on their performances and the ongoing squad requirements of both the senior and under-21 management teams.
