The Scottish national football team has finally made it back to the spotlight of Euro 2024 after years of hard work and determination. This time, they have their sights set on achieving something they have never done before - reaching the knockout stages of a major international tournament. However, it won't be an easy task for Steve Clarke and his men, as they have been placed in a challenging group alongside powerhouse teams such as Germany, Switzerland, and Hungary.
Despite the tough competition, the Tartan Army has arrived in Germany with high spirits and overwhelming support, with thousands of fans making the journey to cheer on their team. The excitement is palpable as Scotland looks to make their mark and advance to the Round of 16. But before we dive into their current journey, let's take a trip down memory lane and revisit Scotland's history in the European Championships.
The last time Scotland made an appearance in the Euros was in 2020, where they were drawn in a group with England, Croatia, and Czech Republic. Unfortunately, it was a short-lived experience for the Scots as they suffered an early exit, finishing at the bottom of their group. The tournament started with a disappointing 2-0 defeat against Czech Republic in their home turf of Glasgow. However, they bounced back with a commendable goalless draw against England at Wembley. Despite their efforts, they were unable to secure a spot in the next round after a 3-1 loss to Croatia.
Euro 2024 marks the fourth time that Scotland has qualified for the European Championships, with their debut being in 1992. In that tournament, they faced a challenging group with Netherlands and Germany, and ended their campaign with a memorable 3-0 victory over the Soviet Union. Four years later, they qualified once again for Euro 1996, and this time, the Tartan Army traveled south to support their team in England. The tournament started with a promising 0-0 draw against Netherlands, but they were unable to secure a win against England at Wembley. A final win against Switzerland was not enough to advance to the next round.
As we eagerly await Scotland's journey in Euro 2024, fans are hopeful that this time, their team will make history and move past the group stage. With all 24 qualified teams and their confirmed squads, England's potential road to the finals, and a showcase of all 48 home and away jerseys in Germany, the excitement for this tournament is at an all-time high. For Scotland, this is a chance to prove themselves and leave a lasting legacy in the world of football.
