Scotland's under-21 team were held to a goalless draw by the Czech Republic at Dens Park, a result that keeps their European Championship hopes in jeopardy. Dundee's Luke Graham was named player of the match on his home ground as Scotland put in a stout defensive performance, though they struggled to create clear-cut chances.

The young Scots felt aggrieved when Jeremiah Chilokoa-Mullen believed he should have won a stoppage-time penalty after a challenge from behind by Slavia Prague's Tomas Jelinek. Despite the appeal, Scotland had to settle for a point that leaves them third in Group B, five points behind leaders Portugal and behind the Czechs on goal difference.

Scotland's path to the 2027 European Championships remains open but narrow. The nine group winners and the best runner-up will qualify directly for the finals in Albania and Serbia, while the remaining eight runners-up will advance to play-offs. With Scotland having played a game more than both the Czechs and Portugal, their margin for error has all but vanished.
