Scotland boss Clarke furious at '100% penalty' denial

Furious Scotland head coach Steve Clarke has railed against the decision not to award his side a penalty as they crashed out of Euro 2024 in dramatic fashion.

With just over 10 minutes remaining against Hungary in Stuttgart, substitute Stuart Armstrong went to ground in the Hungarian box under pressure from Willi Orban.

However, Argentine referee Facundo Tello waved play on and VAR Alejandro Hernandez opted not to intervene.

"The moment in the game for me is the penalty," Clarke told BBC Sport. "It's 100% a penalty.

"Somebody has to explain why it's not because otherwise I'm thinking there's something wrong.

"I don't understand how VAR can look at that and say it's not a penalty."

Former England striker and BBC pundit Alan Shearer agreed that Scotland should have had a spot kick.

"The penalty decision was terrible," he said. "For me it was a penalty all day."
