The way our boys performed in Euro 2024, leaving the country in disbelief.

After Scotland’s disappointing Euro 2024 campaign, manager Steve Clarke will be free to make his own decisions and is said to have the support of the SFA going forward.

The country was stunned when our boys ended their careers on a low note following a humiliating defeat at the hands of Germany and a surrendering defeat to Hungary, which was in between a heartening draw with Switzerland. After five years and two major tournament appearances, Clarke will now probably meet with the SFA later this summer to go over the events of Euro 2024.

The Scottish Sun, however, maintains that Clarke’s position is secure and that those in control of our national teams still support the 60-year-old. And it implies that if the former Kilmarnock manager decided to end his term as Scotland’s manager, it would probably be up to him. Although Clarke received a lot of credit for guaranteeing our spot in Euro 2020 and 2024, supporters were miffed by our performance in Germany and many asked whether it was time to try something different.

The Scots were left incensed when no spot kick was awarded after Stuart Armstrong went down under a challenge from Willi Orban.

In anticipation of Scotland’s run in Euro 2024, a tourism director has referred to the Tartan Army as “fantastic ambassadors for Scotland” and expressed optimism that more tourists from host country Germany will travel to Scotland.

During Scotland’s participation in the tournament, over 200,000 Scottish supporters came to Germany to support their national side. VisitScotland, the nation’s tourism organisation, reported an 83% increase in website views from German users during this period.

14,925 German users were active on visitscotland.com between June 13 and June 23, up from 8,147 during the same period the previous year.

Pics of people wearing tartan Scotland fans cheering on their team in its first international competition since 1998 garnered international notice and were named the greatest supporters at this year’s tournament in a recent survey conducted by German media source RTL.

Malcolm Roughead, chief executive of VisitScotland, stated: “We firmly believe that the Tartan Army has served as outstanding representatives for Scotland and a tremendous source of support for our national side.

“Watching the scenes of Scotland supporters giving that iconic Scottish greeting and seeing such appreciation from the German supporters has been amazing.

We’ve seen a spike in German visitors to our website since the beginning of Euro 24, with visits nearly doubling over this time last year.

One of our most important international markets is Germany, where we spent £247 million and had 343,000 visits last year. According to our research, German tourists are drawn to Scotland because of its people, history, and landscapes—with Scotland supporters serving as a prime illustration of this.

“We’ll keep fostering this interest through our marketing initiatives, such as our most recent campaign, which focuses on important west German cities with high visitor demand and good access to Scotland.”

Over the course of the tournament, up to two million people are anticipated to view the mobile digital advertising campaign, which attempts to market Scotland as the ideal retreat for those looking to replace the football drama with breathtaking landscape.
