Uri Geller predicted Serbia penalty miss which qualified Scotland for Euro 2020… 24 years after ‘psychically’ forcing Gary McAllister to miss spot kick vs England

Twenty four years after ‘helping’ knock Scotland out the European Championship, Uri Geller was celebrating the Tartan Army qualifying for Euro 2020.

The self-proclaimed psychic was, like many throughout the UK, watching Scotland’s play-off against Serbia on Thursday night with the victor booking their place in next summer’s finals tournament.

And Steve Clarke’s side secured the win via a penalty shoot-out, qualifying the Scots for their first major international tournament in a remarkable 22 years!

David Marshall saved the all-important penalty from Aleksandar Mitrovic – with Geller actually predicting the Fulham striker would miss.

“He is going to miss,” said the illusionist in a video he shared on social media. “He is not going to score.

“I believe in my power. I won’t move the ball but he’ll miss.”

And when Marshall denied Mitrovic, Geller celebrated: “Yes! Yes! Yes! I love you Scotland. We did it.”

Judging by his wild celebrations, clearly Geller has changed his tune about the Scots.

It was nearly a quarter of a century ago now that he ‘helped’ knock the Tartan Army out Euro 96, using his ‘powers’ to move the ball as Gary McAllister ran up to take a spot kick against England.

David Seaman saved the penalty, with the Three Lions eventually winning the group stage clash 2-0.

“I actually really regret the moment I moved the ball,” Geller has since admitted. “Later on I realised that what I had done was highly unethical.

“You see, it’s OK to inspire footballers. It’s OK to motivate them, to instil inside their brains a positive mental attitude.

“But it’s another thing to physically interfere with a match – physically, tangibly.

“Gary McAllister said on many occasions that the ball moved and he missed a penalty because the ball moved. I then realised I had done something highly unethical.”
