LYNDON DYKES insists Steve Clarke's boys are capable of making history in Germany with the bonds that bind them their biggest strength.
The gutted striker will watch these Euros unfold from the sidelines after being cruelly injured in camp 13 days ago.
But the 28-year-old has full faith those on the pitch are up to the job of becoming the first Scotland team to reach the knockout stages at a major finals.
Dykes, speaking in a new book "We Can Boogie - Steve Clarke's Scotland Football Revival" by Record Sport's Scott Burns, said: "It is not going to be easy but we have to be confident in what we have.
"The team will be looking to qualify for the knockout stages.
"The players and staff all want to make history. The squad is our big strength and we have to make sure we turn up at Euro 2024.
"Going into tournament football, you can't slip up at any point. We need to be solid throughout. We've learned that from our experience at Euro 2020. The most important thing is the team.
