England and Scotland UEFA Euros Tournament Record
Neither England nor Scotland have tasted glory in this tournament. England’s best performance came at Euro 2020, when Gareth Southgate’s side progressed to the final. They took the lead against Italy at Wembley Stadium, but took their foot off the gas and conceded a second-half equaliser to Leonardo Bonucci. The match went to penalties and England’s talented young forwards buckled under the pressure.
England reached the UEFA European Championship semi-finals on two more occasions - Euro 68 and Euro 96 - but came up short against Yugoslavia and Germany respectively. Their only major tournament victory remains the 1966 FIFA World Cup.
Scotland also can’t boast much success in this competition. The Tartan Army had taken part in three UEFA European Championships prior to Euro 2024. Their journey ended at the group stage at Euro 92, Euro 96, and Euro 2020.
England vs Scotland Head to Head
It’s the oldest international football rivalry in the world and these two sides have faced off more than 100 times. It’s fairly even, with England edging in front over the last 40 years. Interestingly, Scotland haven’t recorded a victory against the Three Lions since 1999.
England and Scotland have met on only one occasion at the UEFA European Championships. The famous encounter took place inside Wembley Stadium at Euro 1996. Alan Shearer punished the Scots with a superb header to make it 1-0 before England keeper David Seaman saved a penalty from Gary MacAllister. Paul Gascoigne doubled England’s lead with an unforgettable goal and celebration which sent the nation wild. It was an iconic moment that fans still recount with joy.
