International Round-Up

Before we return to domestic action this weekend, we take a look at how our Dons got on over the international break.

Dylan Lobban & Mitchel Frame - Scotland U21s

It was a busy break for Dylan and Mitchel who started both games for the Scotland U21s in UEFA U21 Euro Qualifying.

They drew 0-0 with Czechia on Friday night at Dens Park, before losing 3-0 to a strong Portugal side on Tuesday evening.

The pair of results leaves Scot Gemmill's Scotland third in their group, level on points with Bulgaria. They sit three behind Czechia, with Portugal leading the way at the top.

Topi Keskinen - Finland

Topi made his 10th senior appearance for his country during the international break, coming off the bench in Finland's win over New Zealand in the FIFA Series friendly competition.

They also took on Cape Verde, again Keskinen introduced from the bench, where they lost on penalties to the World Cup bound side. Despite defeat in the shootout, the point was enough for The Eagle Owls to win the FIFA Series New Zealand.

Dimitar Mitov - Bulgaria

Dimitar was an unused substitute for Bulgaria's 10-2 FIFA series win against the Solomon Islands in Jakarta, before returning between the posts for friendly number two, keeping a clean sheet in a 1-0 win over Indonesia.

Both wins earned The Lions the FIFA Series Indonesia title.

Marko Lazetic - Serbia U21s

Marko and the Serbia U21s took part in a double-header friendly against Kyrgyzstan.

The Dons no.27 started the first game, a 2-2 draw on the Thursday, before coming off the bench to be part of a 2-0 win on Monday night.

Kjartan Kjartansson - Iceland U21s

KJ was involved in U21 Qualifying with Iceland, featuring as a half-time substitute in a 6-2 win over Estonia.

A trip to take on France followed where the Strákarnir okkar went down 2-1 against a strong France side, with Kjartan playing 72 minutes.

They sit third in the six-team league, three points off second placed Switzerland.

Cooper Masson, Joseph Teasdale, Lewis Carrol - Scotland U19s

The on-loan Cove Rangers trio were busy on Scotland U19 duty, taking part in a triple-header in EURO 2027 Qualifiers.

Cooper Masson started all three games against Poland (3-0 Scotland), Ireland (3-3), and Italy (3-0 Italy).

Joseph Teasdale featured off the bench against Italy and Ireland but started in the win over Poland. The forward netted the equaliser with eight minutes to play against Ireland, his first international goal at U19 level.

Defender Lewis started against Ireland and was an unused substitute in the other two games.
