PARS youngster Stuart Morrison has been called up to the Scotland under-19 squad for a friendly double-header with Greece next month.
The 17-year-old defender has been picked by coach Scot Gemmill to feature in the warm-up matches for the upcoming UEFA European Under-19 Championship qualifying round in Athens on September 3 and September 5.
He is joined in the 20-man squad by fellow Fife Elite Football Academy graduate PJ Crossan, who left Dunfermline to sign for Celtic in the summer.

Morrison joined Athletic at the age of eight and has featured regularly in John Potter's under-20s side, making his debut at Inverness just days after his 15th birthday.
He signed a full-time contract with the club in April and follows in the footsteps of team-mate Lewis Martin, who won four under-19 caps.
After the two friendlies in Greece, Scotland will face Liechtenstein, Israel and group hosts Andorra in October for a place in the competition's elite round.
