Easton has been praised for his performances with Hamilton Accies in the SPL

Scotland under-21 boss Billy Stark has named 10 uncapped players in his 18-man squad to play Northern Ireland.

Stark has made the changes as many of the squad who nearly qualified for the Uefa U21 Championship are now too old.

Among the new call-ups are both goalkeepers Scott Gallacher and Alan Martin, as well as defenders David Gray, Jason Marr and Brian Easton.

The most experienced player in the squad is Falkirk's Scott Arfield with eight caps.
