Dundee striker Leigh Griffiths has been handed his maiden call-up to the Scotland Under-21 squad for next Saturday's European Championship qualifier in Azerbaijan.

The 19-year-old has been rewarded for the form which has seen him net 10 times this season for the Irn-Bru First Division high fliers.

Griffiths comes in for the suspended David Goodwillie, while Celtic defender Jason Marr replaces the injured Thomas Scobbie.

But there is no place in Billy Stark's 20-man party for in-form Motherwell midfielder Ross Forbes or Rangers starlet John Fleck, both of whom were in the last squad.

The duo may yet be called up for the the Under-19s game against Germany in two weeks' time.

Squad:

Jamie Barclay (Falkirk), Scott Gallacher (Rangers), Alan Martin (Leeds); Paul Caddis (Celtic), Brian Easton (Burnley), David Gray (Manchester United), Paul Hanlon (Hibernian), Jason Marr (Celtic), Chris Mitchell (Falkirk), Ross Perry (Rangers); Scott Arfield (Falkirk), Barry Bannan (Aston Villa), Paul Coutts (Peterborough), Kevin McDonald (Burnley), Stephen McGinn (St Mirren), David Wotherspoon (Hibernian); Leigh Griffiths (Dundee), Rory Loy (Rangers), Chris Maguire (Aberdeen), Jamie Murphy (Motherwell).
