Stability. Catastrophic statistics of the Scottish national team in big tournaments

Yesterday, the Scottish national team became the second team, after Poland, to be officially eliminated from Euro 2024. In a decisive match, Steve Clarke's squad lost to Hungary (0-1), conceding a goal in the ninth minute of stoppage time.

This defeat extended Scotland's disastrous run at major international tournaments.

Since 1954, the "Tartan Army" has participated in 8 World Cups and 4 European Championships. However, they have never managed to advance to the knockout stages. Twelve attempts and twelve group stage exits.
