Scotland U21s beat Ukraine 4-0 in Spain friendly
James Wilson scored twice and Lennon Miller added a goal and an assist as Scotland Under-21s defeated Ukraine 4-0 in the first of two friendlies at the Pinatar Arena in Spain.
Scotland Under-21s secured a 4-0 friendly win over Ukraine at the Pinatar Arena in Spain, with James Wilson scoring twice and Lennon Miller also finding the net after the pair dropped down from the senior squad.
Miller, one of the more experienced starters in a refreshed squad built for a new intake of qualifying players, opened the scoring after 23 minutes by capitalising on a defensive error. The Udinese midfielder then turned provider, setting up Wilson's second goal 13 minutes into the second half.
Heart of Midlothian striker Wilson had headed his first goal just before half-time from a Tyler Fletcher free-kick, and his clipped finish after the break doubled his tally. Aberdeen midfielder Alfie Stewart, currently on loan at Inverness Caledonian Thistle, completed the scoring with 20 minutes remaining.
Tony Docherty's side will face the United States at the same venue on Sunday afternoon, the second match of the Spain-based camp. The result gives the new-look squad a convincing start against Ukrainian opposition.
