Scotland not packing their bags with chance to end run of group-stage exits
John Carver insists Scotland are planning for last 16Kieran Tierney forced home with hamstring injury
Scotland’s players and management will not pack their luggage at their Bavarian training base before heading to their final Group A fixture against Hungary. The Scots are full of belief that they will return to Garmisch-Partenkirchen after Sunday’s match in Stuttgart, rather than board a plane home on account of an early tournament exit.
Scotland would almost certainly progress to the last 16 of Euro 2024 with a win. Defeat, however, would continue the Scottish trend of failure to reach the knockout phase of a finals. John Carver, the assistant manager, explained the attitude within Scotland’s camp.
