Kevin Nisbet delivers brutal two-word England assessment as Hibs and Scotland star issues Euro 2020 prediction

Scotland star Kevin Nisbet doesn't fancy England's chances of going all the way at Euro 2020 - especially not with Italy still in the draw.

Gareth Southgate's team have steadily impressed since being held by Nisbet and co. at Wembley last month.

They have won every other game at the Euros, eliminating Germany and Ukraine on their way to the semi-finals where they will face Denmark.

They are yet to concede a goal at the tournament and are the bookies' favourites to go all the way and win the trophy for the first time in their history.

But they have two tough games still to go with Denmark up first on Wednesday, before a potential final showdown with either Italy or Spain.

And Nisbet, speaking to Hibs TV, reckons the Italians have it in the bag.

He was asked if England could win it, and his response was simple: "Nope. Italy."

The cheeky response came after the Hibs star's glowing assessment of Arsenal star Kieran Tierney - who he reckons was by far and away Scotland 's best player at the Euros.

"I'd probably say KT (was Scotland's best player). I think he's an incredible player.

"There's no comparison to anyone else in the squad really. I thought he was our best player.

"He's at Arsenal for a good reason. I thought he was incredible."
