News about Kenny McLean

That Scotland didn't deserve to lose this game offered no real consolation in the end. The statistics now show that the national team have won just one of their last 13 games and find themselves in the midst of their longest winless run at home since 2008. The last victory of any description came in a friendly clash against Gibraltar.

What are we to make of this Scotland team? The nearly men? All talk and no trousers? Certainly, for the second time in three years, this group of players have merely made up the numbers at a major tournament despite promising so much more. All the chat about trying to create history and reach the knockout stages for the first time felt cheap and hollow come full-time against Hungary on Sunday night, almost like a pipe dream. It was all so different barely a fortnight ago. Even a couple of laboured performances against Gibraltar and Finland in the warm-up games couldn't dilute the excitement and optimism surging through the country.

KENNY McLEAN insists Scotland plan to secure a place in the last 16 of Euro 2024 for devastated team-mate Kieran Tierney. The Arsenal defender became the latest addition to Steve Clarke's lengthy list of casualties when he was stretchered off during last night's 1-1 draw with Switzerland with what appeared to be a serious hamstring injury. Lewis Ferguson, Aaron Hickey, Nathan Patterson, Lyndon Dykes, Ben Doak and Jacob Brown were ruled out of Steve Clarke's squad before the flight to Germany.

Munich is a city close to Bryan Gunn's heart. A member of the Aberdeen squad who secured a goalless draw there on the way to lifting the European Cup Winners' Cup in 1983, he returned a decade later with Norwich City and became the first - and only - Scottish goalkeeper to win in the Bavarian capital. He returns at the age of 60 with his wife and family to watch son Angus keep goal for Scotland in the opening game of Euro 2024 this week. By the end of a nervy 90 minutes against hosts Germany, he hopes to welcome a new entrant to an elite and exclusive club. 'I'm still the only British goalkeeper who has won against Bayern in Munich,' he tells Mail Sport. 'Norwich were 2-1 up heading into the final minutes of the game when I made my best-ever save.'

TRUE, the momentum isn't quite what it was when we were bullying Spain into submission at Hampden and producing the greatest comeback since Lazarus to beat Norway with two goals in one minute and 44 seconds at the death. How could it be? Possibly the only way to top the feeling that came from Kenny McLean moving onto Lyndon Dykes' lay-off and sending that sidefooted effort curling in at the far post in Oslo last June is to actually go on and win this blooming thing, starting in Germany on Friday night. However, Scotland manager Steve Clarke (below) is right to demand that negativity, perhaps as popular a pastime as football in this windswept outpost in which you're still putting the fire on in the middle of the summer, is not allowed to envelop the country's first appearance at a proper, overseas, grounds-packed-to-the-gunwales international tournament for 26 years.

Following a 3-1 victory over Bristol Rovers that resulted in a fourth-round tie at Liverpool, Norwich manager David Wagner can look forward to a reunion with close friend Jurgen Klopp. As Luke McCormick put them ahead after 20 minutes, Matt Taylor's League One team threatened an upset, but Norwich fought back in the second half, with goals from Gabriel Sara, Adam Idah, and Kenny McLean all advancing to round four. Rovers began the third round replay with a vibrant shot by Chris Martin, a former Norwich striker, who saw an early penalty drift just wide before Luke Thomas' header was comfortably saved by George Long.

TRANSFER CONFIDENTIAL: Hello and welcome to yet another iteration of our transfer newsletter, which is exclusive to you. My name is Simon Jones, and I'm trying to bring you insight, news, and the most up-to-date commentary from around the world on all the transfer windows that are taking place this summer. It's likely that the likes of Liverpool, Manchester United, Arsenal, Chelsea, and Chelsea will be swooping for their best players in the Premier League, with some clubs relegated fearing the proverbial vultures. I've collected a collection of the most recent news from around the world.

Erling Haaland had already defiked the media, but the defion came straight after he ignored the children who were chanting his name outside the Ullevaal Stadion. Some of the young fans were unimpressed by the coach's ignoring them, armed only with pen and paper. The boys and girls in their junior red jerseys, which cost £70 here, were led by a chorus of boos chanting in their honor. They'll all remember his snub. He should have taken a few minutes to sign some shirts and pads, as his coworkers did.

Scotland snatched a comeback victory from defeat as late hits from Lyndon Dykes and Kenny McLean stunned Norway in Oslo on Saturday to keep their unbeaten qualifying record intact. In the 61st minute against a battling Scotland team, Erling Haaland delighted the home crowd by uncovering the back of the net from the penalty spot. Since winning the Champions League, FA Cup, and Premier League crown during his first season in England, the Manchester City striker returned to his homeland off the back of treble-winning celebrations.

Norwich's former star, Carlton Morris, was the loser for improving Luton last night, putting fresh emphasis on Canaries boss Dean Smith. The Norwich fans and his players were outraged, but referee Oliver Langford was the home crowd's biggest critic for shaming Kenny McLean shortly after the Luton goal was scored. The Canaries took a long time to recover possession, but Josh Sargent's snapshot from the edge of the area put the strain on Ethan Horvath.

JON WEST AT CARROW ROAD: Albion's early header put them on track for their second Championship victory of the season. But fortune left Bruce and his players dead in the 68th minute when Teemu Pukki's shot went off the unwitting Byram, and Albion appeals for handball were unable to convince the officials. Albion's results placed them at a definite departure from the relegation equation, which often sees under-performing teams as part of the team's leadership. Bruce was adamant referee Thomas Bramall and his staff had erred with Norwich's intention, as well as getting a penalty claim wrong earlier this year.

Norwich won their sixth straight Championship victory after two goals from Teemu Pukki and a clincher from Josh Sargent. The Canaries stayed second in second place behind leaders Sheffield United, but the Robins could claim to be the best in all departments other than defense. After Bristol City made it 3-2 in the 77th minute, Dean Smith's hosts had to hold the point, they were convinced that they should not have stayed.
