Man Utd star Scott McTominay kept Scotland’s Euro 2024 dream alive with a goal in the draw with Switzerland.

SKIPPER Andy Robertson praised Scotland’s response to their first-game thumping, saying, “That was more like us.”There is no need to worry.

Steve Clarke’s team needed a tremendous effort to stay in the competition after being thrashed 5-1 by Germany last week.

Xherdan Shaqiri levelled for Switzerland following Scott McTominay’s opener.

And Robertson was pleased with the character he and his teammates shown as they secured a draw and revived their Group A prospects.

He stated, “It was a lot more like us. aggressive and on the front foot.

“We got off to a good start. They had chances, but so did we, and it was a fair game.

“We’re much happier with that, and we could have scored.” But we’ll take the draw and push it to the final game, which is all we could ask for.”

Scott McTominay’s deflected 13th-minute strike may have been cancelled out by a miraculous goal from Xherdan Shaquiri following a mistake by Tony Ralston.

Robertson continued: “We made a mistake. But Tony Ralston was great after the error.

“It was a difficult one for him but fair play to him for recovering.”

This was a victory and performance that offers Scotland a fighting chance of making the last 16 ahead of their last group encounter against Hungary on Sunday.

It may have ended better or worse.

But by the time the final whistle blew, no Scotland supporter here or at home could have hoped for more.

Clarke is too obstinate to acknowledge he made a mistake with his lineup for the Germany game.

But choosing Billy Gilmour for this one could be interpreted as an admission of guilt.

Except for the forced change in which Grant Hanley replaced suspended Ryan Porteous, that was it.

Clarke maintained faith in the nine other players who performed so poorly in Munich.

They all owed their manager for giving them a second shot.

They were also in debt to the touring Tartan Army and the millions of people watching back home.

Another half-hearted performance was simply unacceptable.

To a man, they knew it.

If they were afraid before kickoff, they left it behind in the changing room before walking out.

Because they started this game completely differently than they did last Friday night.
