Scotland have exited the 2024 European Football Championships in Germany at the group stage after a largely disappointing campaign.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Hopes were high that Scotland could make the knockout stages of a major mens football tournament for the first time but all three matches were to end in mainly uninspiring performances for The Tartan army who travelled in large numbers.<\/p>\n

BBC REPORT – Tom English<\/strong>
\n‘Scotland stunned, sickened, suckered and out of Euros’<\/p>\n

‘Outcome the same, only year and city changes’<\/p>\n

Scotland needed that break because their overall play was inaccurate and unthreatening. Same old, same old.<\/p>\n

We reached the 97th minute and at last they had a shot on target, although even it was questionable given there may have been an offside in the preamble.<\/p>\n

Grant Hanley had that chance, a close-range curler that was slapped away by Peter Gulacsi in the Hungary goal.<\/p>\n

A loose ball then broke to Callum McGregor, only a heroic block denied him a crack from close distance and you know the rest.<\/p>\n

A late kick to the solar plexus. In Scotland’s monumental pursuit of a place in the knockouts of a major tournament, the outcome is always the same.<\/p>\n

The only thing that changes is the year and the city in which the horror show unfolds.<\/p>\n
