Scotland vs Switzerland – Euro 2024: Tartan Army take on tricky Swiss side

Scots off the bottom

It’s been a good evening for Scotland already, they’ve already moved up a place in Group A without yet having kicked a ball.

A 2-0 defeat for Hungary against Germany means they move below the Scots, who could put themselves in a promising position with any kind of positive result in Cologne.
