    It looked as though one team were going to get a winner and I was hoping it was going to be Scotland with a couple of half opportunities right at the end there.

    It is a sucker punch at the end. It is sickening, it really is. Even a point, it was never going to be enough but now it is this situation we would have taken it.

  2. Rollercoaster of emotionspublished at 08:36 British Summer Time 24 June

    Scotland 0-1 Hungary

    Scotland - the team and its supporters - have certainly endured a roller-coaster of emotions during the tournament.

    The optimism and party of the build-up to their first match in Munich was quickly followed by the reality of that hammering in the opener against hosts Germany.

    There was a sense that Steve Clarke's side had bounced back with a 1-1 draw against Switzerland and that this was finally their time to make history by progressing to the knockout stages of a major tournament for the first time.

    Which makes the manner of the defeat against Hungary all the more painful...

  3. 'Sorry for letting you down'published at 08:30 British Summer Time 24 June

    BBC Sounds

    A clearly emotional Scotland captain Andy Robertson gave his thoughts on the defeat soon after the final whistle: "That is football and that is how it goes. It will take a long time to get over this one.

    "We had a lot of possession in the first half without really doing anything with it. But we were in control and we controlled the game, passing the ball really well.

    "But we knew we had to go for it and there was going to be that point where we had to and bring on the players that we had on the bench to go for it that little bit more, bringing on Armstrong and Christie and Shankland, Morgan.

    "We went for it and got sucker punched at the end. A draw wasn't going to be enough.

    "We have to get over this. In international football sometimes you lose players so we will see what happens with that.

    "It is devastating. We will have to pick each other up slowly but surely.

    "Thank you to everyone in the country as we felt everyone behind us. We knew the excitement back home, sorry for letting you down."

    The facts will say one point out of nine with one hammering and one defeat.

    Did Scotland really deserve to win that game [against Hungary]? They didn't have that many chances.

    Against Germany, Switzerland did they bring their 'A' game? No they didn't - not every player.

    When it came right down to it, do Scotland have a player who can open a lock or a see a pass others can't see, that is special and a bit different? Probably not.

  5. Joint-lowest number of shots in Euros group stagespublished at 08:15 British Summer Time 24 June

    Scotland 0-1 Hungary

    Scotland had a 57.9% share of possession against Hungary but managed just four shots in the game, compared to their 14.

    Three of Scotland's shots were blocked and none were on target.

    In fact, their total number of shots at Euro 2024 is the joint lowest since the group stages were introduced.

    Here are some of the key stats from Scotland's Euro 2024 campaign:

    • This was Scotland’s 12th tournament and in 50% of those they have failed to win a match - at the 1954, 1958, 1986 and 1998 World Cups and Euro 2020 and 2024.
    • Scotland had just 17 shots at Euro 2024 in total – since the group stage was introduced in 1980, that is the joint fewest by any nation in a group stage, along with Northern Ireland at Euro 2016.
    • There have only been two instances at these finals of a team failing to have a shot in the first half of a match and both have been Scotland - against Germany and Hungary.

  6. 'The feeling of deja vu will be palpable'published at 08:08 British Summer Time 24 June

    So much of the talk from the first two games was of the vulnerability in Scotland's defence, particularly on the right side.

    Yet, the lack of any spark in front of goal has been an ominous shadow that has followed Steve Clarke's team through this tournament, and it enveloped them again here.

    In a game where a victory would probably have delivered legend, all Scotland could deliver was a paltry expected goals rating of 0.13.

    A glut of injuries both before coming to Germany and in camp have not helped.

    But after captain Andy Robertson said there wasn't to be any regrets after failing to do themselves justice in the last Euros, the feeling of deja vu will be palpable.

    The penalty was offside, but it is too easy to hide behind that. Scotland didn't deserve to go through. They had 3 shots on target in 3 games. Must be one of the lowest in international tournament football. You are not going to progress if you don't attack the goal.

    Jeremy

    Highly pessimistic attitude from Scotland from the get-go this year. Basically just bullied by teams they faced. Re the penalty, Armstrong looked for contact and then fell to the floor when he could have scored a vital goal.

    Ryan

    It's natural for Clarke to deflect blame, but it wasn't a penalty. Armstrong backs into the defender causing the collision, if he tried to shoot I suspect the referee would've had a different view.

    For what it is worth, I don't think it was a penalty. I thought Stuart Armstrong was looking for the contact. I don't understand why he didn't try and get a shot off. What an opportunity that was.

    That was a missed opportunity as I don't think that was a great Hungarian team.

  10. Clarke's comments on the ref were 'cringe-making'published at 07:51 British Summer Time 24 June

    Scotland 0-1 Hungary

    Tom English
    BBC Scotland's chief sports writer at the Allianz Arena

    Scotland's desperation was acute. They were playing with what felt like 10 strikers at the time. Angus Gunn had to be told to retreat at one point or else their shape would have been akin to a 0-0-11.

    They had a huge penalty shout waved away not long before when Stuart Armstrong was taken out in the box.

    Steve Clarke was livid in the aftermath, but some of his comments about the Argentinian referee, Facundo Tello, were cringe-making. Bringing nationality into it was unwise.

    The video assistant referee was Spanish, but there was no condemnatory language about Alejandro Hernandez from Clarke. It was all pretty grisly.

    When asked if he has had a conversation with the officials on the penalty decision, Steve Clarke on Football Daily said: "What is the point [in having a conversation] he [the referee] is from Argentina.

    "Why is it not a European referee? He is trying to be clever. I don't understand why he is here and not in his own country refereeing the game.

    "I don't understand why the VAR can look at that and say it is not a penalty.

    "It is just my opinion."

    It's fair to say Scotland manager Steve Clarke was seething with the decision not to award his side a penalty.

    Yet while he intimated that he wanted to "keep his money" - ie. escape a fine for letting his true thoughts be known - Clarke later returned to the subject...

    Scotland manager Steve Clarke demanded answers from Uefa and the match officials after the game, following Argentine referee Facundo Tello's decision not to award his side a penalty for the challenge on Stuart Armstrong.

    "It's a penalty kick," he said. Why is it not given? I need an answer. I need to know why that is not given. It is a penalty kick. I've got words for it, but I like my money, so..."

    Despite the nerve-wracking tension, Scotland's fans would have started to believe late in this game.

    In the closing moments and with a barrage of substitutes, opportunities opened up where before it had all been laboured.

    Scotland's clearest chance fell to defender Grant Hanley moments before that Hungarian sucker punch, but his shot was too close to Peter Gulacsi and would not have counted regardless.

    There were also strong shouts for a Stuart Armstrong penalty, instead it all led to cries of astonishment as no VAR check was forthcoming.

    Scotland crashed out of Euro 2024 in the most heart-wrenching fashion as Kevin Csoboth's 100th-minute winner earned Hungary a stunning late victory.

    The Scots, who could still have held faint hopes of the last 16 with a draw, were stung on the counter-attack to spark bedlam in the Stuttgart Arena.

    It means Steve Clarke's side, who did not register a shot on target, finish on one point and once again fail to make it out of a group at a major tournament.

    Hungary, who lost Barnabas Varga to a sickening injury, finish Group A in third and still have a chance of going through as one of the four best third-placed teams.

  19. How the table finishedpublished at 07:11 British Summer Time 24 June

    Scotland 0-1 Hungary

    The clear aim and objective for this Scotland side was to make it through the group stages of a major international tournament for the first time.

    Victory in their final match of Group A - following a chastening opening defeat to hosts Germany and an improved performance in a 1-1 draw against Switzerland in their second game - would have probably been enough to see them progress as one of the best third-placed teams.

    But it wasn't to be, while Germany came from behind to draw their final match against Switzerland and top the group.

    The top two go through automatically, while Hungary must wait to see if they have done enough to qualify...
