Scotland vs Hungary: UEFA Euro 2024 – Preview, team news, permutations & predictions
Scotland have the mentality and capability “to prove people wrong” by making history and staying in Euro 2024, promises midfielder John McGinn.
A win for Steve Clarke’s side against Hungary in Stuttgart on Sunday should be enough for progression out of Group A.
Critics did not give the injury-ravaged Scots much of a hope after their 5-1 opening thrashing by Germany in Munich, but a 1-1 draw with the Swiss has placed them within reach of qualification.
“We’ve obviously had a lot of injuries along the way – but us Scots are best at enduring adversity,” said McGinn. “Hopefully we can prove a lot of people wrong.
“We have players who’ve been involved in high-pressure matches, but we’re not feeling pressure, we feel anticipation about being that team who changes things for Scottish football.
“I don’t think a lot of people across Europe thought we could do it, so we want to be the ones who do.
“We all know the magnitude of the occasion. We have the chance to write our name into the history books.”
