This evening in Oslo, CALLUM McGREGOR and company will support Spain against Norway in a key Euro 24 Group A qualifier.
Scotland will be guaranteed a spot in the soccer extravaganza in Germany next summer with a win or a draw for the visitors.
The Celtic captain and teammate for the Hoops, Greg Taylor, will almost probably be a member of Steve Clarke’s side for the championship match, which is scheduled to begin with the hosts playing on June 14, 2024, in Munich. Taylor might face World Cup runner-up France in the friendly on Tuesday night in Lille. By the time the Finals roll around in eight months, players like Anthony Ralston, David Turnbull, Stephen Welsh, and James Forrest might also be in the running. Erling Haaland and his teammates will have qualified for a World Cup if they are unable to defeat their Spanish opponents this evening.
They also participated in the Covid-delayed Euro Finals in June 2021, where they tied 0-0 with England at Wembley and lost again, 2-0 to the Czech Republic and 3-1 to Croatia, at Hampden.
With future Celtic player Josip Juranovic on the team, McGregor gave his nation a fighting chance by tying the score against the Croatians, but Luka Modric’s brilliant second-half performance sent the Scots down to loss. While all is going on, Clarke is still debating whether to bring in a late substitute for Andy Robertson, the team’s captain who was forced out before the break of Thursday’s 2-0 loss to Spain in Seville.
The Liverpool left-back collided with goalkeeper Unai Simon and left the field with a dislocated shoulder.
Taylor, a star defender for the Hoops, is waiting.
