Marjan Radeski holds off Kyle Cameron

Scotland Under-21s ended their unsuccessful European Championship qualifying campaign with defeat in Macedonia, who reached the finals.

The hosts moved into the lead through Kire Markoski and Enis Bardhi doubled their advantage before the break.

David Babunski also had a penalty saved by Ryan Fulton in the first half following Oliver McBurnie's handball.

Iceland's defeat at home to Ukraine meant Macedonia won Group 3 to seal a place in Poland next year.

France finish in second place after also overtaking Iceland. However, the French, who won 3-0 in Northern Ireland, do not progress to the play-offs as they are not one of the four best runners-up.

It was Scot Gemmill's second match in charge of the Scots, with the former Nottingham Forest, Everton and Scotland player taking over from Ricky Sbragia before last week's 2-0 loss to Iceland.

Scotland finished the six-team group in fifth place, winning just two of their 10 matches.
