RANGERS striker Steven Naismith was on target as Scotland's under-21s kept their European Championship hopes alive with a 2-1 win over Finland.

The Ibrox attacker put his side in front at Pittodrie from 30 yards after a clever free kick caught the visitors out.

And after Kasper Hamalainen levelled the scores, Dundee's Kevin McDonald made sure of a home win with a good angled finish in the closing stages

The result moves Billy Stark's side up to 10 points in their qualifying group for next year's finals tournament in Sweden.

Finland, who were previously unbeaten, top the pool with 15 but have played a game more than the young Scots.
