Keeper Williamson in Scotland U18s Squad
Wednesday, 8th Mar 2023 09:55

Blues academy keeper Woody Williamson has been named in the Scotland U18s squad for two friendlies in Wales later this month.

First-year scholar Williamson was among the stars of the U18s’ FA Youth Cup run, helping the Blues to a penalty shootout win against Nottingham Forest and then saving a vital spot-kick during the 2-0 victory over Liverpool.

The 16-year-old, who hasn’t previously been capped, has also featured regularly for the U21s this season and has been involved in first-team warm-ups.

The Scots, who are coached by former St Mirren, Aberdeen and Celtic midfielder Billy Stark, face the Welsh on Thursday 23rd March and then again on the following Sunday.

Stark will use the games to assess players ahead of his U19 squad’s European Championships qualifying round in Bulgaria in November.
