West Bromwich Albion striker Barney Stewart scored twice for Scotland under-21s in a 5-2 win against Azerbaijan on Wednesday. The 22-year-old netted a first-half double, marking his first international goals in his third under-21 cap. The victory served as a positive start under new manager Tony Docherty, though Scotland had already failed to qualify for next summer's tournament.

Stewart joined West Brom in the summer from Falkirk for ÂŁ1.3 million. He has yet to make his first Championship start under manager James Morrison, featuring primarily as a substitute. Fans are calling for the forward to start, but he remains on international duty ahead of Scotland's upcoming match against Bulgaria.
