Steve Clarke, unfortunately, lost his two preferred right-backs before the tournament, meaning Anthony Ralston has started both games at Euro 2024. In the last game, with Ryan Porteous suspended after his red card against Germany, it was Jack Hendry, Grant Hanley and Kieran Tierney starting in a back three, with Ralston and Andrew Robertson starting in the win-back positions.<\/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\">Following the heavy defeat against Germany, Billy Gilmour came in for the second game alongside Callum McGregor, with Steve Clarke describing both as &#8220;<\/span><a class=\"editor-rtfLink\" href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=nzzrZSPGCVo\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">outstanding<\/span><\/a><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">&#8221; after the second game draw.
