Kieran Tierney has urged Scotland to “make new memories” in Wednesday’s crucial Euro 2024 Group A meeting with Switzerland.
Steve Clarke’s Scots opened the tournament with a chastening 5-1 defeat by hosts Germany on Friday, with the Swiss beating Hungary 3-1 the following day. Hungary are Scotland’s third group opponents on Sunday.
