Scotland are capable of making a telling impact at Euro 2020 and will not be content "just to make up the numbers," insists Scott McTominay.
The Scots face the Czech Republic, England and Croatia in their first major men's tournament for 23 years.
In their 10 previous finals - two Euros and eight World Cups - Scotland have never made it beyond the group stages.
"It's not just a case of turning up and it's party time," said Manchester United midfielder McTominay.
"We want to play well and that's the sole ambition the manager's told us. We want to get results, it's not a case of being easy-ozy and it's our first tournament for 23 years.
"That's never been the way. We're coming here to improve and hopefully build for the next tournament we might go to.
"I feel we're improving at such a rapid rate that we don't want to stop."
Having earned praise from Sir Alex Ferguson, McTominay was a standout in Manchester United's Europa League final defeat by Villarreal and has risen to prominence for club and country.
"Sir Alex is an icon and somebody I admire immensely," he said.
"Steve Clarke is always so honest and open with me. He expects a lot from me and I enjoy that responsibility.
"He is most definitely demanding and it's good for my game as well as I'm getting older - 24 now - so it's a chance for me to go that next level in my game."
