We take a fantastical look at our tournament chances – who Steve Clarke’s side could face and just how far we can go.
Can Scotland go all the way at Euro 2024 ? Probably not. Will that stop us getting ahead of ourselves? Away you go.
So let's speculate and run with that. A spirited defeat to the hosts, a famous victory over Switzerland, and a draw with Hungary to make history. That'll do us nicely.Last 16 Scotland have done it! The taps are aff, Steve Clarke's getting a statue erected, and we've just called a week long national holiday because everyone's at the pub. We love to do things the hard way, and going through as Group A runners up is certainly the hard way.
That's right, in this theoretical universe in which the Record Sport algorithm simulates every fixture for the most likely winners of each game , it's a quarter-final against England. The bottom quarter-final in the draw pits us against either the winners of Group C or the third place side from Groups D, E or F – who we predict will be Poland, Slovakia, or the Czech Republic.
You wake up on July 7, open the curtains, and out onto an empty street. It's strewn with saltires, cans, and someone's shoe for some reason. There's a distant police siren, but otherwise no sign of life. You're one of the small handful of Scots who didn't jump on the first flight to Berlin after Lyndon Dykes' late header looped over Jordan Pickford and hit the back of the net.
