Kieran Tierney played the entire match but could not prevent Scotland falling to defeat against Croatia and exiting Euro 2020 in the process.

The Tartan Army needed a victory in front of their own fans to progress to the last-16, but fell behind in the 17th minute when Nikola Vlacic fired in.

New life was breathed back into the game when Callum McGregor struck with a fine drive just before the interval to the delight of the home fans.

The game was on a knife-edge, but Croatia took the lead again when Luka Modric took a first-time shot on and found the far corner.

Ivan Perisic wrapped things up when he glanced in a header, and Scotland's hopes of reaching the last-16 for the first time were gone.
