Scotland Finalises Euro 2024 Squad: Gordon And Souttar Miss Out
Craig Gordon and John Souttar have been excluded from Steve Clarke's Scotland squad for Euro 2024. Gordon made history in the Tartan Army's 2-2 draw with Finland on Friday, coming on as a second-half substitute to become the nation's oldest-ever international. The 41-year-old replaced Angus Gunn at half-time to earn his 75th cap, 20 years after his debut.
Following the game, Clarke confirmed that Gordon was one of the players dropped, with Rangers defender John Souttar also missing out on a place in the final 26-man party. Scotland had already lost Aaron Hickey, Nathan Patterson, and Lewis Ferguson to injury before the provisional squad was named. Since then, Lyndon Dykes and Ben Doak have withdrawn, with Tommy Conway and Lewis Morgan called up as replacements. Both make the final squad.
Following tonight's match, we can now confirm Steve Clarke's final 26-man squad that will represent Scotland at UEFA Euro 2024.
