The Most Scottish Way to Go Out

I think I'd best post this before today's matches go ahead. I think I have found the sequence of results that would be the most Scottish way of being eliminated from Euro 2020:

1. Scotland will play well tonight, but suffer a narrow defeat - 2-1 or something like that. The kind of result that everyone accepts as being just, and the kind of performance to give hope.
2. More importantly, Croatia have a nightmare against the Czech Republic. This results in them failing to win the match and, more importantly, give us hope that we can actually win.
3. This should mean that the winner of our final group would go through as one of the best four third-placed teams, but a draw would eliminate both.
4. Scotland then score early in that final match, and defend manfully for the remainder of the game. Until...
5. With practically the last kick of the ball, Croatia score an equaliser and eliminate us both. Disaster!

All of which isn't without precedent: that's almost exactly how the women's team were eliminated last time...
