Thistle Weir Youth Academy graduate Zander MacKenzie has received a call-up to the Scotland Men’s Under-19s squad for their upcoming friendlies against Republic of Ireland and Portugal.
The 18-year-old earns a second successive call up to Billy Stark’s squad having been part of the squad for friendlies in Belgium during the September international break. Zander was an unused substitute in the opening friendly against Belgium but started and featured for 70 minutes in the second friendly in September against the Czech Republic.
The two friendlies in October will take place in Pinatar, Spain on the 11th and 15th of October meaning Zander will join up with the squad after this weekend’s fixture against Inverness Caledonian Thistle.
Everyone at the club wishes Zander the best of luck for his time away with Scotland.
