How have Scotland fared in previous Euros openers?
Tonight marks the opening of Scotland’s fourth appearance at a European Championship – but how have they started their previous three?
Netherlands 1-0 Scotland (June 12, 1992)
Scotland first qualified for Sweden 92 and were welcomed by the reigning European champions, who started Ronald Koeman, Ruud Gullit and Marco Van Basten. Dennis Bergkamp’s 75th-minute strike downed Andy Roxburgh’s men.
Netherlands 0-0 Scotland (June 10, 1996)
Another introduction against the Dutch, this time in England, under the leadership of Craig Brown. Sadly, a goalless draw was not enough to help them progress.
Scotland 0-2 Czech Republic (June 14, 2021)
At Hampden Park, many argued Scotland couldn’t have wished for a better opportunity to begin their campaign. Sadly, any hype was soon quashed as Patrik Schick headed the opener then chipped David Marshall from the halfway line. Brutal.
