Scotland Team Preview
- 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.
- Since Scotland is playing a “must not lose” game, it is risky to take a defensive stance. However, Clarke ought to be putting his team out there to defeat Switzerland.

- 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.
- In just his second outing for his nation, Kwadwo Duah scored the first goal against Hungary. Surprisingly chosen by Murat Yakin, the 27-year-old led the queue brilliantly and performed admirably all around.
