Yet, they failed to advance from the group stage to the play-offs. But the Scottish team still has some achievements. They won the UEFA Nations League tournament twice in 2022/23 and 2018/19. As of March 2024, the team is 34th in the FIFA rankings.

In the group stage of Euro 2024, the Scottish national team got into group A with Germany, Hungary, and Switzerland. Therefore, the Scots can still reach the play-offs and compete for the main prize of the European Championship. The main thing is not to be in last place at the end of the group stage. Scotland will play against Germany (the host of the tournament) on the very first game day on June 14, 2024. Their match will be the official start of the Euro 2024 group stage.
