Euro 2024: Scotland squad, starting XI and tournament odds

England might be one of the favourites for Euro 2024, but Scotland will be fancying their chances at causing some upsets at this summer’s tournament, potentially even going all the way.

Scotland are 200/1 to win Euro 2024, behind the likes of England and France (9/2 and 7/2), Germany (4/1), Spain (5/1) and Portugal (6/1), who are the five favourites.

On their day, Steve Clarke’s side are incredibly hard to beat, but that wasn't seen at all in their 5-1 loss to Germany in the tournament's opening game, but things looked better when they held Switzerland to a 1-1 draw a few days later.

So, Ladbrokes takes you through the 26 players Clarke has selected for his final squad for Euro 2024, as well as how we expect the former Liverpool assistant coach to line-up his national team side for his games during this summer’s tournament.

It's now confirmed that countries will be able to take expanded squads to Euro 2024, so below are the 26 people Scotland's coaching set-up have picked for the final squad.

• Goalkeepers - Angus Gunn, Liam Kelly, Zander Clark
• Defenders - Liam Cooper, Grant Hanley, Jack Hendry, Scott McKenna, Ross McCrorie, Ryan Porteous, Anthony Ralston, Andy Robertson, Greg Taylor, Kieran Tierney
• Midfielders - Stuart Armstrong, Ryan Christie, Billy Gilmour, Ryan Jack, John McGinn, Callum McGregor, Kenny McLean, Scott McTominay
• Attackers - Che Adams, Tommy Conway, James Forrest, Lawrence Shankland

Lewis Ferguson will be a big miss for Scotland at Euro 2024, with the Bologna midfielder unavailable for the tournament after suffering a major knee injury last month. Aaron Hickey and Nathan Patterson are two more names who have missed out through injury, while Liverpool's Doak was a surprise inclusion, having not made his senior debut yet, but he had to withdraw from the squad due to injury.

Now we’ve got the 26-man squad out of the way, below is the starting XI that this writer thinks Clarke should pick for Scotland during this summer’s tournament, where Scotland play the first game against hosts Germany.

Scotland are expected to line-up with a three (or five) at the back system, so we won’t be deviating away from that, but the injury to Ferguson will mean that Clarke is without one of the players he’d have guaranteed a starting place in his line-up.

As usual, Tierney lines up as the left centre-back in a back three, with Robertson playing further forward in a wing-back role, a more advanced version of the job he’s asked to do for Liverpool in the Premier League.

The midfield three consists of McGinn, Gilmour and McTominay, the latter of whom is a top goal threat for his country, always popping up at the right time to put the ball in the back of the net for Scotland, as was seen during qualification.

Scotland are 200/1 to win Euro 2024. They’re major long shots, but as noted, Scotland are known to be incredibly hard to play against, so could they go all the way and shock the world?

England are the third-favourites though, at 9/2, slightly behind France (7/2) and Germany (4/1), but ahead of both Spain (5/1) and Portugal (6/1) not far behind.

Scotland played in the tournament’s opening match against Germany on June 14, where they were hoping to lay down a marker and shock the world with a huge win, but were ultimately beaten 5-1.

Next up was Switzerland on June 19, which ended in a 1-1 draw. Clarke’s men concluding their group phase games on June 23 against Hungary, but the Scotland faithful will be hoping that their tournament doesn’t end there.
