Three Albion players featured for their countries on the final day of the first international break of the 2026/27 season.
Striker Barney Stewart had a night to remember for Scotland’s Under-21 side, scoring the first, setting up the second and completing 90 minutes of the Tartan Army’s 2-0 win in Bulgaria in their final European Championships qualifier.
The 22-year-old fired in the opener from distance after 32 minutes at Stadion Georgi Benkovski – his third goal for his nation this break following a brace against Azerbaijan last week. The forward then went on to lay the ball on a plate for Dundee’s Bobby Wales to finish into an empty net in the dying stages.
Scotland finished third in Group B, one point behind Czechia and eight behind winner Portugal.
