Andy Robertson and Kieran Tierney blasted for Scotland goal kick celebration as pair told 'you should know better'

Former Scotland striker Alan McInally blasted Andy Robertson and Kieran Tierney for celebrating winning a GOAL KICK in the defeat to Germany and claimed the Premier League duo should know better.

McInally reckons the passionate scenes early on against Germany were a sign Steve Clarke's team weren't fully focused on the task at hand. Emotions were running high early on in Munich as the Scots opened Euro 2024 against the hosts and every kick of the ball in our favour was celebrated wildly by the Tartan Army in the opening exchanges.

At one point, Tierney and Robertson were seen celebrating after the Arsenal star won a goal-kick off Jamal Musiala to ease the early pressure. And while those pumped-up scenes were symbolic of how up for it the Scotland players were, they were made to look a little daft in hindsight just seven minutes later when Florian Wirtz opened the scoring.

Germany ran riot from there, cutting through Scotland like a hot knife through butter on their way to a 5-1 win that thoroughly dampened the party atmosphere among the travelling Tartan Army.

And McInally, who played eight times for Scotland in 1989 and 1990, told Betfair: "The boys should be better than that. It’s all right having a good camaraderie within the group, and the lads will have known it’s a difficult opening game against the hosts, but they shouldn’t have been celebrating winning a goal-kick.

"We should have been properly focused on the game. We knew it was a big team to take on. I thought Angus Gunn should have saved the first Germany goal and then that put us under a bit of pressure."

But despite Gunn's tough day at the office, McInally reckons Clarke needs to stick by him for Wednesday's game against Switzerland rather than shake
