The 26-man squad jetting out to Germany for the Euro 2024 finals is locked down with the final decisions now made.

Andy Halliday has been left wondering whether John Souttar 's Scotland omission for Euro 2024 was down to a race against time to recover fully from injury.

A final decision has now been reached by Clarke and his Scotland staff with Hearts veteran and national team legend Craig Gordon joining Souttar in dropping out of the squad to confirm the 26-man pool boarding the flight to Germany. The 41-year-old was brought on as a late substitute for Angus Gunn at Hampden with the home support giving him a standing ovation in what could end up being his final appearance for his country.

"On the flip side, when you look at Liam Kelly, he's just broke a 10-year SPL record of 132 consecutive starts. I always felt if it was going to be one it was going to be Craig but it was fantastic to see him make what could potentially be his Scotland farewell last night. I thought it was a classy touch from Steve Clarke. He will obviously feel very unfortunate he is not going to Germany.
