Celtic youngster Jude Bonnar scored on his Scotland under-21s debut last night.
Bonnar was joined by fellow Parkhead teenager Colby Donovan in the ranks as Scot Gemmill's men picked up a 2-0 victory over the Republic of Ireland under-21s at the Pinatar Arena in Spain.

Kilmarnock's Bobby Wales opened the scoring in the first half before Bonnar doubled Scotland's money in the second, striking home with power from the edge of the box:

Bonnar made his Celtic debut when Celtic emphatically defeated Aberdeen 5-1 a few weeks ago.
He was on the bench as Brendan Rodgers' men painstakingly exited the Champions League at the hands of Bayern Munich and, similarly, was among the subs for their 3-2 defeat to Rangers at the weekend.
The 19-year-old has been a regular for Celtic's B side this season and will be continually looking to make his way through the first-team ranks.
Rodgers was full of praise for Bonnar after he made his senior Parkhead bow last month: "[It was] great for young Jude Bonnar to get his first appearance," he said.
"He’s working very, very hard with the second team. He’s got a good profile and fits how we want to play. So that is a nice little taster for him."
