Aberdeen youngster Alfie Bavidge scores first goal for Scotland's U17 sideTeenage sensation Alfie Bavidge continued his rapid development this season by as the Aberdeen forward netted his first goal for Scotland's U17 team in their entertaining 4-4 draw with Switzerland in a friendly in Spain. The striker who was winning his fourth cap for his country at youth level, was on the scoresheet along with Hibernian defender Rudi Allan-Molotnikov as the Scots went down 4-2 in the first half at the Camps De Futbol Oliva Nova in Valencia. After the Swiss had taken an early lead, Bavidge levelled the game on 17 minutes, winning the ball back and then exchanging a nice one-two with a teammate to convert from inside the area.
Bavidge was on the bench for the recent defeats to Hearts and St Mirren, but was handed a first team bow by interim boss Barry Robson for the final few seconds of the 3-1 victory against Motherwell at Pittodrie earlier this month.

Brian McLaughlin's side then responded really well after the break, and scored twice through goals from Gabriel Forsyth and Bailey Rice as the game finished 4-4. The Scots will face the Swiss once again in two days time as they gear up for more fixtures in 2023. It caps off a remarkable few months for 16-year old Bavidge, who has been scoring goals for fun for Aberdeen's U18 side, including hat-tricks against St Mirren and Dundee United already this season.

With the departure of forwards Christian Ramirez and Vicente Besuijen in the January transfer window, Aberdeen are not stacked in the striking department, and starlet Bavidge will hope he can get more appearances under his belt between now and the end of the season.
