Scotland international Erin Cuthbert believes an apology is "not required" from Andy Robertson after the men's captain said sorry to the nation following their Euro 2024 exit.
After Sunday's 1-0 loss to Hungary knocked Scotland out, an emotional Robertson apologised to the Tartan Army for "letting you down", but Cuthbert says the side's effort cannot be faulted.
"Andy feels the weight of the country of his shoulders so I wasn't surprised to hear [him apologising]," she said.
"He saw the level of support, everything on social media, maybe he doesn't feel the performances have matched that.
"An apology is not required because we've all had the time of our lives here. No matter what, the boys have given 100% effort. As Scots, we can't fault that."
Cuthbert, who has 68 caps for her country, also backed Steve Clarke to recover from the latest failure at a major tournament.
"He's got us to two major tournaments so he's done a great job," Cuthbert added. "We've fallen short at the tournaments and I'm leaving this one thinking 'what if?' because I think we're good enough.
"I know Steve Clarke, he's a good guy and he'll pick himself up, dust himself down and reflect. Whatever happens, we'll come back fighting."
