- The Tartan Army supporters were extremely disappointed by Scotland’s crushing loss to Germany in the opening game of the European Championship, which stands as the biggest defeat in the tournament’s history.
- If Clarke wants to beat Switzerland on Wednesday, he will need to make some adjustments. One possibility is to start Billy Gilmour in the starting lineup to provide some more inventiveness.

- The way they defeated a respectable Hungarian team 3-1 will have instilled confidence in the Swiss supporters that their team may succeed at Euro 2024 this summer.
