Euro 2020: How Call of Duty might have ended Scotland's dream
Ryan Christie, left, and Kieran Tierney, right, had to self-isolate after Stuart Armstrong's positive test
It was early October of last year. Steve Clarke's side were 180 minutes away from a first major men's finals in 23 years. Israel would be the opposition at Hampden the following day in the play-off semi-final. Then the news broke.Midfielder Stuart Armstrong had returned a positive Covid-19 test and was required to self-isolate for 10 days. A blow, sure, but manageable given his was the sole case.
Playmaker Christie explained a member of the squad's staff had even measured the distance between the seats as 3.8m - a gap that had been previously approved by the SFA doctor but fell foul of the uncommonly stringent local authority. Now, all three players are in the squad for the Euros in the next few weeks. The spectre of Covid has not yet left the party, though, with midfielder John Fleck the unfortunate victim while at the training camp in Spain.
