Connor Barron rewarded for Aberdeen rise as Scotland U-21 squad announced for Euro qualifiers

Aberdeen rising star Connor Barron has been named in Scotland's U-21 squad for the first time.

Manager Scot Gemmill has revealed the 22 players who will take on Turkey and Kazakhstan in a European Championship qualifying double header later in March.

Barron, 19, has received a first call-up to the U-21 setup after breaking into the Dons first team with a string of impressive displays.

The midfielder has previously represented his country up to U-17 level.

He'll join Pittodrie team-mate Calvin Ramsay but there's still no return for Bologna defender Aaron Hickey.

There's also a first appearance in the squad for Hibs' Josh Campbell.

Regular call-ups Stephen Welsh, Lewis Mayo and Josh Doig are all in, firstly for Turkey visiting Tynecastle on March 25, then the long trip to Kazakhstan on March 29.

Here's Gemmill's squad in full.
