GLASGOW (Reuters) - Croatia captain Luka Modric and forward Ivan Perisic were disappointed after a 1-1 draw with the Czech Republic on Friday left their hopes of advancing to the Euro 2020 knockout stage hanging in the balance.

The Group D game at Hampden Park put 2018 World Cup runners-up Croatia on one point from two games following their opening 1-0 defeat by England. Perisic conceded they would have to improve in their final group match against Scotland.

The Scots, who lost their opening match to the Czechs 2-0, were playing England at Wembley later on Friday. Modric, often forced to distribute passes from the edge of his own penalty area as Croatia's midfield failed to carve out supply routes, said a poor start put paid to their hopes. "We lacked confidence early on in the game," Modric added at a post-match news conference."We know the fans are unhappy because we are most unhappy."
