OFFICIAL: Scotland defender Kieran Tierney has been ruled out of the rest of Euro 2024 with a hamstring injury sustained in Wednesday’s 1-1 draw with Switzerland.

Tierney was stretchered off late on in the Group A fixture and Scotland have confirmed the 27-year-old will miss the rest of the tournament.

The injury to Tierney was a negative on an otherwise positive night in Cologne as Scotland kept their hopes of advancing to the last 16 of a major international competition for the first time alive with a vital point against the Swiss.

Scotland must now beat Hungary in Stuttgart on Sunday to reach the knockout stage, but they will have to do so without another key player.

Steve Clarke was already without full-backs Aaron Hickey and Nathan Paterson while Ryan Porteous remains suspended following his red card in the 5-1 loss to Germany.

After the draw against Switzerland, Clarke said of Tierney’s injury: “It looks pretty bad.

“You have to feel for Kieran, he’s got himself in great shape and he’s a top player for us. It’s a shame but someone else has got to step up to the mark.”

Boyd: Scotland ‘did the nation proud’ in Switzerland draw

Former Scotland striker Kris Boyd on Sky Sports News:

“There were questions and criticism after the performance on Friday night and rightly so.

“But they’ve responded against Switzerland and it’s been more like Scotland, right in their faces.

“Switzerland are no mugs at this level but they’ve more than matched them and they come away with a draw.

“Yes they rode their luck at times but I think Steve Clarke will be relatively happy with that result.

“From where we were on Friday night there had to be a response and we’ve got that.

“There were probably a few harsh words flying around the training ground over the last few days, but that’s the life of a footballer. There are ups and downs.

“Scotland have shown they can compete at this level. It’s a quick turnaround but they’ve done the nation proud.”
