Scotland U19s – Rory Whittaker, Rudi Molotnikov and Jacob MacIntyre
This year has seen the rise of several members of the Hibernian FC Academy! So far, six youngsters have made their First Team debuts this season, including Rory Whittaker, Rudi Molotnikov and Jacob MacIntyre who have all kicked-on and gained international selection during the 2023/24 campaign.
The trio were involved for Scotland U19s during their UEFA 2024 Elite Round qualifiers in Italy. Unfortunately, the camp did not go to plan for the young Scots who lost all three of their qualifying matches.
Rory Whittaker played the full 90 minutes in a 3-1 defeat against Italy in their opening match, whilst Jacob MacIntyre and Rudi Molotnikov were both involved three days laters as the Scots were beaten 3-2 by Georgia.
In their final match, all three Hibees started against the Czech Republic on Tuesday, gaining more valuable minutes at international level, with the young Scots losing 2-0 on the day.
All six players will now fly back to Edinburgh to link up with Nick Montgomery’s side ahead of our trip to Ibrox on Saturday.
