Graeme Souness, the former Scotland and Liverpool captain, felt a mix of emotions as he received a CBE for his contributions to football and charity. However, his joy was dampened by Scotland’s disappointing 5-1 defeat to Germany in the Euro 2014 opening game.
Souness expressed his disappointment with Scotland’s performance, emphasizing that the players need to take responsibility for their lackluster display on the field. He criticized the team for not having a clear game plan and urged them to improve in their upcoming matches against Switzerland and Hungary, who are both in good form.
Despite his disappointment, Souness remains hopeful that Scotland can bounce back from their defeat and put up a better performance in their next games. He stressed the need for the players to reflect on their performance and strive to improve in order to have a chance at progressing in the tournament.
