Scotland managed to rattle Champions League hero Rodri last time round.
Now their task is halting fellow Manchester City Treble winner and free-scoring phenomenon Erling Haaland. Steve Clarke’s Euro 2024 shock troops sit top of Group A in the wake of wins over Cyprus and Spain. Next up is Haaland’s Norway on Saturday evening and then a home clash with Georgia a week tonight.
Scotland beat the Spaniards 2-0 at Hampden last time out, which triggered a fiery blast from Rodri. He might be on top of the world after Saturday’s club triumph over Inter Milan but in the last qualifying double-header Scotland left his national side on the floor. The City star, rather than giving Clarke’s boys credit for their success, slaughtered their tactics and time-wasting approach. It sent tongues wagging and Lewis Ferguson admits many of his Bologna team-mates were asking him about Rodri’s outburst when he returned to training.
