Kieran Tierney was left heartbroken as he was carried off the field on a stretcher. It was a devastating moment for the Scottish defender during their Euro 2024 match against Switzerland. The game, which took place in Cologne on Wednesday night, ended in a 1-1 draw.
The Tartan Army had taken the lead early on with a deflected strike from Scott McTominay in the 13th minute. However, their joy was short-lived as Xherdan Shaqiri equalized for Switzerland, taking advantage of a mistake made by Anthony Ralston.
In the 61st minute, Tierney's night took a turn for the worse as he tried to defend against Dan Ndoye on the edge of the box. Unfortunately, he caught his studs in the grass and ended up hyperextending his leg. The pain was evident as he immediately grabbed his hamstring and signaled to manager Steve Clarke that he needed to come off.
Tierney, who had spent the previous season on loan at Real Sociedad, was visibly upset as he was taken off the field and replaced by Scott McKenna. As someone who has dealt with numerous injury problems in the past, including issues with his hamstrings, Tierney likely knew the severity of this latest setback.
The match itself was an intense and exciting one, with both teams playing end-to-end football. For Scotland, the point earned was crucial after their humiliating 5-1 defeat to Germany in their opening game of the Euros last Friday. However, they will need to secure a win against Hungary on Sunday if they want to progress to the knockout stages.
