Euro 2024 Scotland cut record breaker Craig Gordon from Squad Craig Gordon was not included in Scotland's squad for Euro 2024 which manager Steve Clark announced on Friday after a draw with Finland in their final warm-up match where the goalkeeper came on to become his country's oldest International player Gordon 41 came on to replace Angus gun in the 2-2 draw at Hampton Park with Scotland 20-0 up at the time beating David Weir record set in 2010 when he played aged 40 years and 116 days the hearts keeper suffered a serious leg injury at the end of 2022 and didn't make a return to action until January this year I wasn't going to take four goalkeepers it was a really tough decision to leave Craig out when you think of the injury he's come back from Clark told reporters I just felt that over the period of time that he'd been back and hadn't become the number one at Hearts again he'd only seven games since December 2022 it's a long time Gordon had been informed of the decision on Thursday night but took his place on the bench for Friday's game and made his 75th appearance for Scotland 20 years after making his debut it was a really tough conversation with Craig it was quite emotional to be honest for both of us I think Clark said but the mark of the man is that he's here tonight because at the end of of the conversation I said listen I understand if you don't like me and you don't want to do this but I'd like to give you the 75th cap in the game at Hampton tomorrow Rangers Defender John Saar is the other player to miss out having been named in the provisional Squad Ben Doak and Lynden dkes had already been replaced due to injury by Tommy Conway and Lewis Morgan both of whom came off the bench against Finland and keep their places in the final squad for Germany Scotland will play hosts Germany in the Euro 2024 Opening match on June 14th and will then take on Switzerland and Hungary in group a where they aim to reach The Knockout stages for the first time goalkeepers Xander Clark hars Angus gun Norwich City Liam Kelly motherwell Defenders Liam Cooper leads United Grant Hanley Norwich Jack Henry Al edifo Ross mccroy Bristol City Scott McKenna Copenhagen Ryan cus Watford Anthony Ralston Celtic Andy Robertson Liverpool Greg Taylor Celtic Kieran Tierney real CAD midfielders steuart Armstrong Southampton Ryan Christie Bournemouth Billy Gilmore Brighton and HOV albian Ryan Jack Rangers Kenny McLean Norwich John mcin Aston Villa Callum McGregor Scott momy Manchester United forwards Chay Adams Southampton Tommy Conway Bristol City James Forest Celtic Lewis Morgan New York Red Bulls Lawrence shankland hearts
