Andy Robertson has issued a rallying cry for Scotland to carve out a new chapter in their footballing legacy at Euro 2024, starting against Germany this Friday.
After a commendable qualifying run, placing second to Spain, Scotland has secured their spot in consecutive European Championships.
During Euro 2020, the team scraped together merely one point and bowed out after the initial round.
Now, Robertson is championing the Tartan Army with aspirations of transcending beyond the group stage for the first time, despite the formidable opposition lined up.
“This is our chance,” Robertson stated during a media briefing. “Stepping into the realm of legends is a hefty lure; it should propel us.”
“Peak performances are crucial,” he added. “Achieve that, and our destiny on the 23rd of June remains unwritten.”
“Let’s leave no room for regrets. Either we join the lengthy roster of teams who’ve stumbled at the first hurdle, or we etch our names into history.”
“The prospect of triumph excites us. With our potential fully harnessed, I’m optimistic about making historic strides,” Robertson enthused.
Manager Steve Clarke, leading Scotland in back-to-back Euros—a first for the nation—believes his squad can rise above the fray for a favorable outcome.
Clarke shared, “Our ethos is to respect all but fear none. They’re formidable, yet so are we.”
“Backing consecutive tournaments is an honor. If we can push past our previous achievements, our pride will only swell further,” he expressed.
