The team last played in a competitive tournament in the 2007 FIFA U-20 World Cup, which Scotland qualified for by finishing second in the 2006 UEFA European Under-19 Championship.

An under-20 team was selected for the 2017 Toulon Tournament, the first time since 1999 Scotland competed. Scotland registered a first ever win against Brazil at any level in the groups. The team finished with the bronze medal, which was the nations first ever medal in the competitions 45 year history.
