Bulgaria v Scotland UEFA Under-21 Championship Qualifying Tuesday, 6 October, 2026 (5:30pm kick-off, UK time) Stadium Georgi Benkovski, Pazardzhik, Bulgaria Following their impressive display against visitors Azerbaijan at the BBSP Rugby Park stadium in Kilmarnock, the young Scots head for Bulgaria to bring their Under 21 qualification group to a close. While the Scots will miss out on qualification to the Championships in Albania and Serbia next summer, there are still qualification pot seedings to play for, and with momentum with them after the game in Kilmarnock, they are looking to end the group on a high. With a number of players within the squad playing their final Under 21 game, they'll be looking to show their talents for the final time. Similarly, a number of players will be looking to stake a claim for the upcoming campaign, as they seek to impress the new management team of Tony Docherty and Steven Naismith. The match will be broadcast in full on the Scotland National Team YouTube page.
