Scotland

Scotland enters the 2024 Euros ranked 36th, managed by Steve Clarke, aiming to overcome a historical hurdle. The team has never progressed beyond the group stage in the European Championship or the World Cup, marking a unique record; no country has qualified for as many World Cup finals without advancing past the first round. Despite this, key players like Manchester United's Scott McTominay and captain Andrew Robertson of Liverpool are eager to rewrite history. Under Clarke's guidance, Scotland focuses on defensive resilience, seeking to break the cycle of early tournament exits and make a significant impact on the Euros.
