Euro 2024 and the feast of summer football is on the horizon, with less than a fortnight to go until the tournament gets underway.
Starting on June 14, Scotland take on tournament hosts Germany on the opening day of the competition before taking on Switzerland and Hungary in Group A and Tartan Army fans are already dreaming of qualifying for the knockout stages of a major tournament for the first time.
And why not? With top talents like Scott McTominay and John McGinn able to fire them to glory, there’s every reason to feel positive.
Some of the world’s most lethal goal-scorers, such as Harry Kane, Kylian Mbappe and Jude Bellingham, are all tipped to have big tournaments for their respective countries. But what if Hearts hitman Lawrence Shankland shocked the world and took home the coveted Golden Boot award instead?
Here are the latest betting odds for who will win the Euro 2024 Golden Boot - including how they view McTominay, McGinn, Shankland and Che Adams’ chances of taking home the prestigious award this summer.*
