The size and fervour of the Scottish national team support far exceeds the success the country has attained in the major finals tournaments, and that’s very credible but also means accessing tickets can prove a monumental task, and that’s where SeatPick can aid your endeavours.
Trying to buy top international fixture tickets is a tough task, especially if the game in question is at the finals of either the UEFA European Championship or the FIFA World Cup tournament.
The level of supply is somewhat below demand for these fixtures, so much so that when UEFA releases their tickets for the European Championships, they do so initially, prior to fans even knowing which two teams might be playing in a specific fixture. This illustrates perfectly just how desperate football fans are to see top-level national team action.
If the chosen national team in question is well supported, such as in the case of Scotland, the whole process becomes even more problematic unless you choose to buy tickets via SeatPick instead, in which case it’s pretty straightforward.
We are aligned with hundreds of trusted ticket reseller sites, and that means our users can access a wide range and variety of tickets for every UEFA European Championship fixture and can, therefore, scroll through the many options before selecting those that meet their budgets and schedules.
Additionally, fans have the peace of mind that comes from knowing that every purchase via our service is guaranteed, as well as there being no hidden fees added at the online checkout.
Scotland vs Norway UEFA Euros Tournament Record
Having failed to qualify in each of their first six attempts to do so, Scotland finally made it to the finals of a tournament in 1992. Those finals took place in Sweden and were eventually surprisingly won by Denmark, and Scotland performed pretty well considering the group of death they were drawn into.
Andy Roxburgh’s side lost their opening two games to the Netherlands and Germany but not emphatically, and they finished their tournament with a strong showing against the CIS, with goals from Paul McStay, Brian McClair, and Gary McAllister giving Scotland a 3-0 win in Norrköping.
Four years later, Craig Brown took Scotland back to the finals, which were hosted in England, and they opened the group with a solid 0-0 draw against Holland at Villa Park before losing to the hosts 2-0 at Wembley Stadium.
They then won their final game, 1-0 against Switzerland, thanks to Rangers goal machine Ally McCoist’s goal, but it wasn’t enough to get them through as the Dutch progressed by virtue of having scored more goals.
Their third appearance in the finals was their worst to date, as they only managed a single point from their Euro 2020 group stage campaign, though that point did come via a solid goalless draw against England.
Norway’s record in the competition is significantly worse than that of Scotland. Over the course of 16 UEFA European Championship qualifying campaigns, the Løvene have only made it to the finals on one occasion.
Nils Johan Semb’s squad included some top-quality stars, with the likes of Tottenham forward Steffan Iversen, Manchester United’s Henning Berg, and Chelsea’s Tore Andre Flo performing heroics to make it to the Euro 2000 finals, jointly hosted by the Netherlands and Belgium.
They started with a bang, beating Spain in their opening fixture thanks to a solitary goal from Iversen. They then lost to the Former Republic of Yugoslavia and then needed to beat Slovenia to be sure of progress to the knockout phase; however, Norway could only manage a 0-0 draw in Arnhem and were therefore eliminated.
Scotland vs Norway Head-to-Head
Scotland met in the qualifying for the 1980 UEFA European Championships and won both fixtures.
Two goals from Liverpool legend Kenny Dalglish and a third from Archie Gemmill gave Scotland a 3-2 win in Glasgow in the return fixture; in Oslo, goals from Dalglish, Joe Jordan, John Robertson, and Gordon McQueen led Jock Stein’s side to a comfortable 4-0 success in Norway.
Regardless of those two wins, Scotland were still some way off making it to the finals as they finished fourth in a group of five in their qualifying table.
