England legend Alan Shearer was furious after a ‘terrible decision’ cost Scotland in their devastating Euro 2024 defeat to Hungary on Sunday.
Steve Clarke’s side crashed out of the tournament after a 1-0 defeat in Stuttgart, with Hungary scoring in the 11th minute of stoppage time.
Scotland needed to win to keep their hopes of reaching the knockout stages alive.
But Clarke’s man managed just one shot on target as their hopes of progressing faded away.
However, things could have been so different had Scotland been awarded a penalty when Stuart Armstrong was upended in the area.
The former Southampton man was put through on goal by Scott McTominay and was about to pull the trigger at goal when he was tripped from behind.
Despite loud calls, the referee waved play on and VAR saw no reason to intervene.
Speaking in the BBC Studio, Shearer felt the decision cost Scotland.
‘I thought the referee gave a terrible decision when Scotland should have had a penalty. For me it was a penalty all day,’ said Shearer.
