The U-21 players will not travel, to allow them concentrate on preparations for their European championships at the end of July. However Nigel Henderson (51 caps), Gordon Elliott (38), Justin Sheriff (49), Jason Black (59) and Mark Black (24) all return after missing the recent Celtic Cup through injury or other commitments.

The games in Brussels are on Thursday, Saturday and Sunday (July 15-18).
