Scotland squandered a two-goal lead to draw 2-2 with Finland at Hampden Park, concluding their EURO2024 preparations on a disappointing note. The Tartan Army gained a comfortable buffer with an own goal from Arttu Hoskonen followed by a Lawrence Shankland header. However, signs of a collapse emerged when substitute Benjamin Källman pulled one back in the 72nd minute. Oliver Antman, who assisted Källman, completed the comeback five minutes from time by dispatching a penalty past Craig Gordon.
The match was goalless at halftime, but Scotland surged ahead by the hour mark. Hoskonen's scrappy own goal and Shankland's header from a sweeping move seemed to secure victory. However, Scotland's defense faltered, allowing Källman to halve the deficit. Craig Gordon, who came on as a substitute, conceded the late penalty that Antman converted. Post-match, it was confirmed that 41-year-old Gordon was omitted from the final EURO2024 squad, making his 75th cap possibly his last.
