'For Scotland, no party, as Euros farewell falls flat'

The Scotland squad bid farewell to Craig Gordon in a somber atmosphere at Hampden on Friday, lacking the usual celebratory elements.

The team's recent poor performance, with only one victory in nine games, added to the melancholy mood.

Despite the Hollywood-like exit for Gordon, who was substituted into great applause for his final cap, the overall sentiment was one of missed opportunities and unfulfilled potential.

The upcoming Euros match against Germany in Munich loomed large, making the emotional farewell even more poignant.
