Match overview
Scotland secured victory through McCoist’s thunderous drive but fell agonisingly short of the quarter-finals after news of Kluivert’s late goal at Wembley filtered through. Switzerland threatened sporadically yet could not spoil the Tartan Army’s evening.
Trivia
McCoist’s strike was Scotland’s first in a European Championship finals since 1992 and the last ever goal at Villa Park in the tournament era.
