Diary

Sunday, 25 April 2021 - The Scottish National Team will base themselves at Middlesbrough FCs Rockliffe training complex for the duration of the European Championships. Steve Clarke's side tweice play at Hampden Park in Glasgow, but their usual training centre, at Oriam near Edinburgh, was booked by the Czech team before Scotland were able to qualify themselves. Clarke wants the best 'possible training facilities available' and is delighted that Scotland have been able to secure a spot near Darllington.

Tuesday, 4 May 2021 - Teams will be allowed to select a 26-player squad instead of 23 at this summer's delayed European Championship Finals. The change has been implemented to lessen the load on players after a club season compressed because of the coronavirus pandemic. It will also help managers adapt if outbreaks occur during the tournament.

Wednesday, 19 May 2021 - Scotland manager has sprung a surprise by including uncapped trio Billy Gilmour, Nathan Patterson and David Turnbull in his 26-man squad for Euro 2020. The three are under-21 internationals but have never been previously called-up. Liam Cooper, Greg Taylor and Kevin Nisbet are also included in Scotland's first major tournament since 1998.
Scotland depart for a warm-weather training camp in La Finca, Spain on 27 May.

Friday, 28 May 2021 - The Scotland Squad have their first training session is underway in La Finca Resort, in the Algorfa area of Alicante, South-East Spain. Billy Gilmour is the only exemption, as he is with his club on Champions League duty in Portugal.

Saturday, 29 May 2021 - The Czech Republic squad have decided to base themselves back in Prague instead of the Oriam Training Centre near Edinburgh for the duration of the European Championships. However, the SFA are unlikely to scrap its own six months of preparations at its squad's base at Rockliffe with only a week before they are scheduled to move in.

Monday, 31 May 2021, evening - The Squad numbers that the Scottish team will be wearing throughout the Tournament are released.

Tuesday, 1 June 2021 - Sheffield United's midfielder John Fleck has tested positive for Covid19 at the teams base in La Finca. The 29 year-old midfielder is asymptomatic but has to quarantine for ten days - or until he records two negative tests - in accordance with Spanish health protocols. The SFA confirmed that the rest of the squad recorded negative results after being retested.

Wednesday, 2 June 2021 - A further six players will miss tonight's friendly against the Netherlands due to CoVid-19 fears following John Fleck's positive test. David Marshall, Stephen O'Donnell, Nathan Patterson, Grant Hanley, John McGinn and Ché Adams have not travelled with the squad to Portugal. They have all tested negative but have been kept back as a precaution. However, it does leave Steve Clarke with just nineteen players for the first of two Euro 2020 warm-up games.
Netherlands 2 Scotland 2 - Depleted Scotland continued their Euro 2020 preparations in positive fashion, despite Memphis Depay's late free-kick denying them victory over the Netherlands in Portugal. Shorn of seven players, Steve Clarke's side defied any early concerns when Jack Hendry drilled in to cap a fine start. Depay swept home a composed first time shot to level, then arced in a stunning set piece in the final moments after substitute Kevin Nisbet scored with his first touch to restore Scotland's lead.

Sunday, 6 June 2021 - Luxembourg 0 Scotland 1 - Billy Gilmour's sparkling cameo briefly lit up a routine win over 10-man Luxembourg in Scotland's final warm-up game for Euro 2020. The 19 year-old midfielder, a half-time substitute, impressed with composure and skill in his second cap before a heavy challenge forced him off as a precaution for the final fifteen minutes. Ché Adams slotted Scotland's early opener before Lyndon Dykes was pulled back by Vahid Selimovic on the edge of the box to earn the defender a 34th minute dismissal.

Wednesday, 9 June 2021 - The Scotland squad arrive at their new base, Rockliffe Park, near Darlington.

Monday, 14 June 2021 - Scotland 0 Czech Republic 2 - Scotland's first match at a major final tournament in 23 years ended in anguish after Patrik Schick's incredible halfway-line goal helped the Czech Republic inflict a deflating opening Euro 2020 defeat at Hampden Park. Around 9,000 fans witnessed Schick open the scoring with a first-half header. Scotland had their chances, striking the bar, but a first foray beyond the group stage already looks a tough task.

Wednesday, 16 June 2021 - Kieran Tierney says 'it's touch and go' whether he will be fit for Scotland's Group D match against England on Friday. He has already missed the opening match against Czech Republic, and his manager Steve Clarke said Tierney had 'a chance' of making the fixture. Tierney told reporters that a decision would be made tomorrow afternoon, or sometime before the game.
