Gunn reveals collision was ‘bit of a blur’
Scotland keeper Angus Gunn revealed he couldn’t remember much from his fateful collision with Barnabas Varga.
The Norwich keeper told the BBC: “It was a bit of a blur.
“I thought I had to come [for the ball] and thought I’d done well.
“It was a bit painful, but hopefully the guy’s alright.”
Hungary striker Varga expects to be released from hospital tomorrow following facial surgery.
On Scotland’s 1-0 loss and Euro 2024 exit, Gunn said: “I thought everyone gave their best out there.
“The goal at the end was because we were going for it. The effort we gave today showed the fans and country what it means to us.
“It didn’t fall for us, deflections didn’t go our way and we couldn’t score.”
