Unavailability because of the schools’ half term has stripped Jersey of seven of their squad so manager Dave Walsh has brought in recruits from a older age group.
Walsh said: ‘It’s only fair on Scotland; they want a competitive game so we have to bring in a few of the under-21s to help strengthen us.
‘It’s an awkward time for our usual age group because of half term as the fixture came late and families had already booked holidays.
‘Our 18s set a bench mark with a very good performance against Northern Ireland U18 schoolboys earlier this month.
Hopefully they can perform equally well tomorrow as their work-rate was superb against the Irish that night in a 2-2 draw.
‘Tomorrow’s result is immaterial; it’s about continuing to play well against good standard opposition which obviously can only help our players’ development.’
Jersey: Max Jouan, Daniel Gillett, Fabio De Jesus, John Borg, Jay Reid, Chris Mourant, Ricky Figueira, Fabio Santos, Calum Brennan, Liam Walker, Adam le Cornu, Seb Poole, Luke Campbell, Neal Crowell, James O’Haire, Marco Vieira and Luke Campbell.
Kick-off at Springfield is at 12 noon.
lJERSEY’s Under-15 Schoolboys will play in their English Schools FA Inter-Association Trophy quarter-final match against Plymouth at Tavistock on Tuesday 26 February, kick-off at 7 pm.
