Tynecastle last hosted the U21s in 2016 when Scotland were defeated 1-0 by Macedonia.

Gemmill told the official Hearts website: “It will be great to take the players back to Tynecastle Park for our last two home games of the qualification campaign.

“I hope Scotland supporters in Edinburgh and further afield can make it along.

“We’ll look to give them plenty to shout about and it’s a stadium that generates the kind of atmosphere that can make them special occasions.”
