Ross County defender Dylan Smith says his recent Scotland under-21s call-up came as an unexpected, but welcome surprise. Smith, 18, was part of Scot Gemmill’s recent squad for a friendly double-header – which saw Scotland suffer drastically contrasting fortunes, as they defeated Republic of Ireland 2-0, before suffering a crushing 6-1 loss to Iceland. Smith came on as a substitute in both matches, which continued his acceleration through the national team youth ranks.
