The Celtic trio of Callum McGregor, Anthony Ralston, and James Forrest are heading home early after Scotland’s disappointing exit from Euro 2024. Despite going into the tournament with high hopes, the team only managed to pick up one point, scoring two goals, one of which was an own goal, and suffering a heartbreaking defeat to Hungary in the last moments.
McGregor, in particular, has faced criticism throughout the tournament, especially after a tough loss to Germany. There were noticeable issues with the team’s attacking play, with both McGregor and Ralston coming under fire for their decision-making at the back.
Commentator James McFadden noted the frustration of John McGinn towards McGregor and Ralston for their failure to play forward passes effectively. The lack of creativity in Scotland’s play was evident, with only four shots on goal in a crucial match.
Even after strong performances towards the end of the season for Celtic, Forrest found himself overlooked by Clarke, adding to the team’s attacking struggles. It seems there are many questions to be answered as Scotland reflects on their disappointing Euro 2024 campaign.
