Steve Clarke's side will face Netherlands on June 2 in Algarve, Portugal, before meeting Luxembourg on June 6.

"The matches provide an opportunity to build on the progress that got us to the finals and fine-tune before what we all want to be a memorable return to a major tournament," Clarke said.

Scotland open their Euro 2020 campaign against Czech Republic at Hampden Park on June 14. England and Croatia are the other teams in Group D.
