Really pleased for Finn and his family. Used to know them when I lived in Ayr.

Good luck in the games Finn.

Thinking beyond this season if Smith is allegedly moving on, can Harvie play rb with Ecrepont playing lb?

Small update on the current trip:

On a sunny day in Spain, Scotland U17s were up against the highly fancied France U17s in preparation for the next round of the Euros.
With players from Real Madrid and PSG, this was going to be a real test for Scotland, including our own Academy player Finn Ecrepont, who was starting at left back.
The game finished 0-0, but what a great performance from the Scottish boys who again showed they can compete with the best of them. Scotland defended bravely as the French were throwing everything at them, including Theo Zidane, who plays for Real Madrid, just like his very famous dad did!!!
Scotland still played with great composure from the back with all of them understanding their roles and were unlucky going forward at times not to get a goal that would have got them a victory.
So well done Finn and his Scotland team-mates.
