Kenny Dalglish believes that Graeme Souness displayed unwavering support for Scotland during their difficult match against Germany, where the team suffered a heavy defeat. Souness, known for his passionate demeanor, didn’t hold back in criticizing Celtic captain Callum McGregor for his decisions on the field.

In the aftermath of the disappointing Euro 2024 opener, McGregor faced criticism for his risky plays against top German players, prompting Souness to voice his disapproval on live television. Despite McGregor’s pledge to use the criticism as motivation, Dalglish offers a different perspective on Souness’ fiery comments.

Writing in the Sunday Post, Dalglish commended Souness for his enthusiastic support for Scotland as they prepared for their upcoming crucial match against Switzerland. He interpreted Souness’ outburst as a display of fervent backing for the national team.

Dalglish expressed confidence in Steve Clarke’s ability to rally the players and turn the situation around, emphasizing the resolve of experienced players like Andy Robertson, John McGinn, Kieran Tierney, Scott McTominay, and Callum McGregor to make amends. He highlighted the unity among the Tartan Army and the nation’s support for the team, noting the positive energy from fans both inside and outside the stadium.

Looking ahead to the next game, Dalglish predicted a spirited performance from the players, buoyed by the unwavering encouragement from supporters across Scotland, including notable figures like Souness and Ally McCoist.
