THE BBC Radio 5 Live commentary team were left devastated when Scotland crashed out of Euro 2024 in dramatic circumstances on Sunday.
Steve Clarke’s side suffered a 1-0 defeat to Hungary after conceding a 100th-minute winner in Stuttgart.
The Tartan Army finished fourth in Group A as a result, with no chance of progressing to the knockouts.
BBC 5 Live commentator Alistair Bruce-Ball admitted he wanted Scotland to score a late goal in added time.
He said: “I know we shouldn’t say this on the BBC, but come on Scotland!”
Ex-Scotland international Pat Nevin, with his head in his hands, went on to say: “Scotland manage to find ways, new, weird ways, of going out of tournaments.
“And is that the 100th minute, that Scotland have managed to lose a goal.”
Scotland fans and players were left furious after Stuart Armstrong was denied an 80th-minute penalty following a challenge in the box from Willi Orban.
Discussing the match and the penalty incident at full-time, manager Clarke told BBC Sport: “The goal comes as a consequence of us trying to win the game.
“The goal is almost irrelevant. The moment in the game for me was the penalty. It was 100% a penalty. Someone has to explain to me why it wasn’t a penalty 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.
“It was always a one-goal game. We didn’t manage to get the goal, we opened up at the end to try and get it.
“The overriding feeling is to be sad for everybody, for the supporters and the country and the players are just as sad as everyone else.”
