Academy goalkeeper Ryan Fulton has been named in the Scotland U21 squad for the forthcoming European qualifiers against France and Iceland.

The 19-year-old, who was born in Burnley, saved a penalty for Liverpool U21s during Monday night’s 2-1 win over Leicester City at Langtree Park.

The stopper, who was included in the first-team squad for the pre-season tour of Thailand, Australia and Malaysia, was on the bench during the Capital One Cup win over Carlisle United at Anfield last week.

Fulton has yet to win a cap for Scotland U21s, but he is one of 23 players included in Ricky Sbragia’s squad.

Scotland face France on Saturday October 10 at 3pm, before hosting Iceland at Aberdeen FC three days later.
