England has taken some flak for their lacklustre draw with Denmark and unimpressive start to their Euro 2024 campaign, and Scotland captain Callum McGregor couldn’t resist a jab at their heartbreak at the previous tournament three years ago.
Graeme Souness criticised midfielder McGregor after his performance against Germany, but the 31-year-old found atonement with an assist and a standout performance in the matchday two draw with Switzerland. And Steve Clarke’s players are now focusing on the match against Hungary, with a victory all but ensuring Scotland’s place in the knockout phases for the first time.
However, in the build-up to the Stuttgart match, McGregor was put on the position alongside fellow Scotland star Ryan Christie by UEFA TV, with players from all competing nations being tested on their Euro 2024 knowledge during a quiz. The old Celtic teammates returned to England’s Euro 2020 defeat to Italy, and they didn’t need an invitation to stick the boot in.
The host asked who had not won the European Championships previously – Germany, England, Netherlands or France. The Celtic captain was quick to respond stating: “Ah, England. It’s England.” Christie added: “Aye, it’s England.”
The off-camera interviewer responded: “That is correct. Losing finalists in Euro 2020 but have never won.” Christie chimed in to set up his pal: “Ah, close”. After that, McGregor couldn’t resist a dig adding: “That was a shame.”
