Comments:

This was Scotland's first game at a major tournament since the 1998 FIFA World Cup in France. It was their first game at the UEFA European Championship finals since Euro 96 in England when Ally McCoist scored the only goal of their final Group A game against Switzerland at Villa Park. Including qualifiers, after a run of four consecutive defeats, this was Scotland's first loss in their last six UEFA European Championship games (won three). Aged 36 years and 101 days, David Marshall became the second oldest-ever player to appear for Scotland at a major tournament after Jim Leighton against Morocco at the 1998 FIFA World Cup (39 years and 334 days).

Comments:

Czech Republic had now qualified for every UEFA Championship finals since the split with Slovakia in 1993. This was Czech Republic's first win at Hampden Park (played four, lost two). Prior to Patrik Schick's two goals in this game, none of the Czech Republic's 26-man squad had previously scored at the UEFA European Championship finals.
