Stretton Called Up For Scotland Under-21 Duty

Derby County striker Jack Stretton has been called up to the Scotland Under-21s side for their latest upcoming international fixture.

The Rams’ Academy graduate has been named in the Tartan Army squad to face Turkey in their opening UEFA Under-21 Championship qualifying fixture.

The Scots face a trip to the Bursa Büyükşehir Stadium, home of Turkish side Bursaspor, on Tuesday 7th September (7:30pm kick off).

It is Stretton’s first call up to the Scottish Under-21s side after spending time with the Under-19s in February 2020. He made his debut by playing 72 minutes in a 1-1 draw against the Czech Republic.

Stretton, who scored his first goal for the Rams against Peterborough United last weekend, has made seven appearances for the club since making his debut against Wycombe Wanderers in November 2020.

The striker also enjoyed a loan spell away from the club at National League side Stockport County last term, where he scored three times in five appearances.
