Steve Clarke, unfortunately, lost his two preferred right-backs before the tournament, meaning Anthony Ralston started the opening game of Euro 2024. Jack Hendry, Ryan Porteous and Kieran Tierney appeared in defence alongside Ralston and Andy Robertson of Liverpool. <\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Read More<\/span><\/strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">:\u00a0<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2024\/06\/10\/scotland-euro-2024-key-players\/\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_self\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Three Scotland Players To Watch Out For In Euro 2024<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">In midfield for the opening game, Gilmour was surprisingly left out, with Ryan Christie, Callum McGregor, Scott McTominay and John McGinn getting the nod. We are predicting Gilmour starts alongside Mctominay, with Mainstays Christie and McGinn starting behind Ch\u00e9 Adams, who we predict will continue in attack due to his work rate.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Scotland Recent Form and Tactics<\/h3>\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The Tartan Army endured a tough build-up to Euro 2024, blowing a 2-0 lead against Finland and experiencing heavy defeats against Netherlands and France.
