SCOTLAND star Kieran Tierney’s Euro 2024 appears to be over after he was stretchered off against Switzerland.
The Arsenal full-back, 27, suffered the injury around the hour mark of their crunch group clash with the Swiss with the score locked at 1-1.
It occurred when opposition forward Dan Ndoye spun the defender and raced away on goal only to fire off target.
Just as he pulled the trigger, Tierney appeared to place his foot on the ground awkwardly as he tried to get back and looked to have hyper-extended his knee.
And he soon fell to the turf in agony with what appeared to be a torn hamstring.
Scotland medics raced on to the touch to treat him, but they were soon calling for a stretcher to take the devastated ace back to the dressing-room as Scott McKenna replaced him.

Tierney, who spent last season on loan in Spain at Real Sociedad, looked completely distraught as he was carried off as he covered his face with his hands while his team-mates tried to console him.
And it did not take long for former players and fans to react to the crippling blow.
Ex-Scotland striker Steven Thompson told BBC Sportsound: “He is done, he's done his hamstring. This is terrible news for Scotland.

“That is really, really disappointing.”
Ex Scotland winger Pat Nevin said on BBC Radio 5 Live: “Kieran Tierney's game is done.
“He's been injured enough times in his career to know when something has gone wrong. That's his hamstring absolutely gone there.”
Fans soon joined in as they offered their sympathies for the much-loved ace.
