Scotland handed Euro 2024 omen as mascot name points to Tartan Army party in Germany

If three wins from our opening three qualifiers and an eight point gap over our main rivals for second place isn't enough to suggest Scotland are going to the Euros, then one of the suggested mascot names might.

Steve Clarke’ s side have made the perfect start to their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign with victories over Cyprus, Spain and Norway, with Georgia to come at Hampden on Tuesday night. The Scots are already firmly in the driving seat, but years of heartache mean the Tartan Army won’t be counting their chickens just yet.

But a bear could have the dreaming of Germany after UEFA opened a vote on what the tournament’s official mascot should be called. And one option will jump out immediately to those hoping they can get the passports out next summer for a property major tournament experience, rather than hoping to get lucky with tickets in a half-empty, Covid restricted Hampden in 2021.
