They have never made it out of the group stage in 11 major tournament appearances. Scotland kick off Euro 2024 against hosts Germany on June 14 before playing Switzerland and then Hungary in Group A. “To qualify for successive Euros after more than 20 years is phenomenal and testament to their hard work,” Clarke said when Scotland clinched their spot back in October. “I said after Euro 2020 that we wanted to be serial qualifiers again and reaching successive Euro finals [tournaments] shows the progress we’ve made.”Manager Steve Clarke has led Scotland to their first Euros appearances since 1996. After their qualification group finished, Scotland endured a seven-game winless run, including a 4-0 rout by the Netherlands and 1-0 loss to Northern Ireland.
