suffered the first defeat of their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign in cruel fashion in Seville after a stunning Scott McTominay goal was disallowed.
“Of course I will be supporting them on Sunday night. They are a top team so I don’t see why they wouldn’t keep on getting better. Teams like that want to get to the very top and stay at the top.”But the 21-year-old, who acquitted himself well in difficult circumstances in La Cartuja, firmly believes that Scotland can bounce back from the Spain loss, finish first in their Euro 2024 section and give their fans more to applaud going forward as well.
“You look at the team and you look at the strength in the squad and it’s great,” said Patterson. “There is competition for places and that will just push you and make sure that you are performing well. That is what we are doing and we are getting the results on the pitch. “We obviously had the goal chalked off by VAR. Sometimes you get those type of nights where nothing goes your way. But you just need to keep digging deep and making sure the team is working together and I thought we did that right to the end.”He added: “Before Thursday night we had five wins from five in qualifying so you can take what you want from that. We are a completely different side now. We are going to places like Spain and challenging and wanting to win.
“I got booked for nothing,” said Patterson. “I didn’t even think it was a foul. I just got my body across and the Spain player has played the ref well and got a foul. I didn’t even say anything to the ref. The player went over and he has ended up booking me.
