Angus Gunn says the effort Scotland showed throughout Euro 2024 demonstrated to the fans and the country how much it meant to the players.

The defeat to Hungary ended the Scots' campaign that saw them pick up one point.

"It's hard to speak to be honest," the keeper said.

"I thought everyone gave their best out there. The effort we gave showed the fans and the country what it means to us.

"When we do look back, we created chances, we had opportunities, and it didn't fall for us.

"At the end of the day, we're out and nothing really matters."

Andy Robertson says Hungary's late goal against Scotland was a "sucker punch" after the players "gave everything".

The captain was subbed off late on in the 1-0 defeat to Hungary that ended Scotland's Euro 2024 hopes.

"There's nothing really to say to be honest," the defender said.

"We gave it everything.

"We knew we had to win this game, and they've hit us on the counter-attack. It could have gone either way, but that's football - that's how it goes. It will take a long time to get over this one.

"We had a lot of possession, first half, without doing anything with it. We had to find that cutting edge and go for it a wee bit more. We did go for it, but we got sucker-punched. A draw wasn't going to be enough realistically.

"Tonight and for a long time we have to get over this. It's a tough one. It's devastating. All the lads are absolutely gutted. I will say thank you to all the supporters; sorry for letting you all down."

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 didn't register a shot on target themselves until injury time, 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.

Scotland manager Steve Clarke tells BBC Sport:

"The goal comes as a consequence of us trying to win the game.

"The goal is almost irrelevant. The moment in the game for me was the penalty. It was 100% a penalty. Someone has to explain to me why it wasn't a penalty because otherwise I'm thinking there's something wrong.

"I don't understand how VAR can look at that and say it's not a penalty.

"It was always a one-goal game. We didn't manage to get the goal, we opened up at the end to try and get it.

"The overriding feeling is to be sad for everybody, for the supporters and the country and the players are just as sad as everyone else."

The only Scotland change following Wednesday's 1-1 draw with Switzerland sees Scott McKenna replace the injured Kieran Tierney on the left of the back three.

Scotland XI: Gunn, Ralston, Hendry, Hanley, McKenna, Robertson, Gilmour, McGregor, McTominay, McGinn, Adams.

Get Scott McTominay in the Hungary box.

That has to happen as much as possible if Scotland are going to get the result they need in their last game in Group A.

In the past couple of years, the Manchester United man has been really important to Scotland because he can play in several different roles.

It was not too long ago that McTominay was as used as centre-half under Steve Clarke for a period but, more recently, he has played higher up the pitch – which is where I feel you get the best out of him.

When I watch him, it is his goals that stand out. He has got plenty of them for club and country in big games in the past few months, so many that it makes me think that he might end up being Scotland’s top scorer.

At the moment that is definitely the part of his game that we need the most.

Scotland have not really offered much of a threat so far at Euro 2024 and McTominay gives us the best chance of doing that on Sunday, in a game we probably need to win to reach the last 16.
