Pat Nevin, at 60, believes Scotland’s squad is ready to challenge top-tier nations at Euro 2024. Steve Clarke’s team aims to build on an impressive qualifying campaign and make a deep run in the tournament. Nevin, who was part of Scotland’s Euro 1992 squad, earned 28 caps over his 10-year international career.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the 1990s, Scotland appeared in four major tournaments, but since the 2000s, they’ve qualified for just one. Looking to improve on their Euro 2020 group-stage exit, Nevin sees the opener against hosts Germany as a prime opportunity to make a statement, with the pressure squarely on Julian Nagelsmann’s team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Speaking before the match, Nevin told Flashscore, “Scotland has nothing to worry about. Expectations are low for the first game, but Germany, despite being a mighty nation and the home team, are not the formidable squads of the past. We should have a right go at them, believe in ourselves, and that\u2019s what Steve Clarke will instill in the team. Scotland proved in qualifying they can take big scalps, and this game is another chance to start the campaign strong.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
