Souttar shares the blame for Iceland defeat

June 08, 2025

JOHN Souttar stressed Scotland would take collective responsibility for their defeat by Iceland after a “poor” all-round display.

Goalkeeper Cieran Slicker endured a nightmare debut in a 3-1 loss after replacing the injured Angus Gunn in the opening stages.

The 22-year-old struggled with his kicking and his handling as he made a poor start and never really recovered.

But there were many others in the Scotland team who failed to reach the standards they are capable of and Souttar preferred to focus on the general display rather than discuss the Ipswich player's night.

“Look, the result was collective,” said the Rangers defender, who headed home a first-half equaliser.

“I don’t think any of us could say we were great in the game. So it’s on all of us. Everyone's got to take responsibility
