Dundee United's young stars will be given the chance to fly the flag for Scotland on their own turf.

The SFA have announced Tannadice will host the Dark Blues Under-21 friendly with Hungary on March 5.

Arabs youngsters Stuart Armstrong, Ryan Gauld and Andrew Robertson all featured for Billy Stark's side the last time they tasted action against Slovakia in November.

Stark said: "We're grateful to Dundee United for allowing us to play our first u21 fixture of the year at Tannadice.

"It's been well-documented just how talented some of the young players they have are and I'm sure some of those players will be involved in this match.

"We're getting into the final stages of our European qualifying campaign so it's important we prepare as best we can and Hungary will provide us with a real test.

"They've picked up a couple of good results in their own qualifying group and will look to cause us some problems.

"I'll be hoping for a good performance from the team but we'll be trying to win the match and entertain the fans who at Tannadice.

"This will be our last match before we play the Netherlands in May and we want to go into that game in a confident frame of mind."
