Who is Scotland coach?
A highly popular figure, Steve Clarke gained managerial experience at West Bromwich Albion, Reading and Kilmarnock before being given the Scotland job in May 2019. He led his side to their first EURO finals since 1996 after they qualified for EURO 2020 via the play-offs, but they finished bottom of Group D. However, a highly impressive qualification campaign means that they will now go into EURO 2024 full of confidence that they can improve on their performance from three years ago.
Scotland key player: Scott McTominay
With seven goals in qualifying, look no further than McTominay. At a time when he wasn't a regular starter at Man United, Scotland became McTominay's 'happy place' with Clarke urging him to play “with a smile on his face”. His memorable double in the 2-0 Hampden win over Spain certainly had all of Scotland smiling, and the Tartan Army will be hoping McTominay can reproduce his goalscoring form come mid-June.
Scotland one to watch: Tommy Conway
With previous wildcard Ben Doak withdrawn from the provisional squad through injury, attention now turns to his replacement, Bristol City striker Tommy Conway. The 21-year-old scored ten Championship goals for his club last season and has found the back of the net three times in seven games at Under-21 level. A strong runner and good finisher, Conway could be a key player off the bench.
How did Scotland qualify for EURO 2024?
Group A runners-up: P8 W5 D2 L1 F17 A8
Clarke's side were confirmed as finals contenders after Norway failed to pick up three points at home to Spain on 15 October. Scotland have qualified for back-to-back EUROs, having been eliminated after the group stage in all three finals appearances. They have not won a game at the tournament since EURO '96.
