The two teams face a must-win scenario to progress at Euro 2024 with historic stakes and key players pivotal.
As the Euro 2024 Group A reaches its climactic final round, Scotland and Hungary find themselves in a high-stakes showdown where only victory will suffice to keep their tournament hopes alive.
Both teams have struggled to make an impact so far, with Scotland managing a hard-fought draw against Switzerland, while Hungary suffered consecutive defeats.
Scotland's journey in this tournament has been marked by highs and lows. After a demoralizing 5-1 loss to Germany in their opener, manager Steve Clarke's unconventional blend of "cuddles and kicked backsides" seemed to rejuvenate the team, earning them a crucial point against Switzerland.
However, their spirits were dampened by the loss of key defender Kieran Tierney to injury, ruling him out of the decisive clash with Hungary.
