Derek Forsyth has announced his Scotland men’s squad for Eurohockey Championship II to be held in Gniezno, Poland from 11th – 22nd August.
Scotland is aiming to gain a return to the top tier of international hockey while securing a place in the World Cup qualifiers in August.
The Blue Sticks will feature in Pool B alongside Austria, Ukraine and Switzerland. Pool A features Ireland, Italy, Poland and Croatia.
The Scots will get their campaign underway against Ukraine before taking on Austria on day two. After a rest day Scotland will play Switzerland before the latter stages of the tournament.
The squad sees the return of goal-machine Alan Forsyth, fresh from Tokyo, and will see Robbie Croll, Rob Field and Andy McConnell play their first international tournaments in the blue of Scotland.
