Scotland needed a win to secure a spot in the knockout phase of a major tournament for the first time, save some form of arithmetic cruelty. Hungary had faint hopes of progression with a win. The teams looked destined to play out a mutually unsatisfactory, ragged scoreless draw until Hungary notched a 100th minute winner. Put bluntly, neither team deserves a place in the last 16 of Euro 2024 based on this.
Scotland huffed and puffed. Hungary’s play generally broke down 25 yards from goal. Steve Clarke and the Tartan Army will be wounded by what transpired here but the harsh reality is over the course of three games they have looked short. Scotland are out of the Euros, a point feeling scant reward for weeks of effort.
