Scotland’s Euro heroes spotted in Glasgow as Dykes shows off another new hairdo

THE excitement for Euro 2024 is getting real with the big kick-off edging ever closer.

And it’s all feeling a bit more real now too as Scotland‘s heroes arrive at their hotel.

Steve Clarke announced his preliminary 28-man squad for the showpiece in Germany last week and now it’s time for the players to get together.

The Scotland boss will have to whittle that squad down to 26 names before the tournament gets underway.

But before that, his hopeful stars will have a chance to show what they can do and stake a claim when Scotland face Gibraltar on Monday.

The Tartan Army will then give the players a huge send-off at Hampden against Finland on Friday, June 7 – the same day final squads have to be confirmed.

The Scots will take on Gibraltar in Portugal on Monday evening, but before they jet out, the squad have arrived from all over to gather for the first time ahead of the Euros.

SunSport were there to see Clarke and the players check-in to Glasgow’s swanky Blythswood Hotel on Wednesday afternoon.

Among those arriving was Ben Doak.

The 18-year old Liverpool wonderkid was the wildcard name in Clarke’s squad and he’s reporting for senior Scotland duty for the first time.

It was SunSport who told you first that Doak was being considered for a stunning call-up.

Rangers star Ryan Jack was the shock inclusion in the squad given the fact he hasn’t kicked a competitive ball in months.

The 32-year old endured another injury hit season and hasn’t featured for the Light Blues since early March.

Billy Gilmour, fresh from his appearance in Men’s Health, arrived in a fetching Adidas tracksuit.

Kieran Tierney and James Forrest, the latter back in the Scotland setup for the first time since the last Euros, arrived together with Celtic hero Forrest spotted clutching a bin bag.

All four goalkeepers – Craig Gordon, Zander Clark, Liam Kelly and Angus Gunn – are there.

Also arriving was Scott McTominay.

He picked up a knock in late April that led to fears he could be a doubt for the finals.

But he was fit to feature for Man Utd in their stunning 2-1 FA Cup Final win over rivals City, but hobbled off at the end to be replaced by Mason Mount.

He also appeared to be moving gingerly on holiday in Ibiza.

But McTominay has allayed those injury fears by now by reporting for Scotland duty as expected – all smiles in the process.

Lyndon Dykes was spotted arriving too – with yet ANOTHER new hairdo.

He popped up at the Open Goal Live event last week with a DRASTIC hair change, appearing to channel one of David Beckham‘s iconic hairstyles from the early 2000s.

The QPR frontman was seen sporting braids.

However, those were gone and Dykes was instead seen with longer, flowing locks as he arrived at the Glasgow hotel.

Lawrence Shankland, Grant Hanley and Ross McCrorie were among the other stars pictured checking-in.

The footie aces aren’t the only big names at the hotel.

Rap superstar Nicki Minaj is also in town ahead of her huge gig at the OVO Hydro.
