Germany would have it in the bag. Just look at those tracksuits!
Scotland win and forgetting Rule No 1 of international tournaments.
Scotland fans, from none other than Sir Alex Ferguson:
Scotland fans have travelled to Munich. Here’s Football Daily on how the Tartan Army got the party started in style …
Germany. COME ON SCOTLAND!!!”
Scotland, they are expecting to field a back three, with Anthony Ralston joining Andy Robertson at wing-back. The midfield engine room is crucial, led by Scott McTominay and John McGinn, while Che Adams’ pace on the break should see him selected instead of Lawrence Shankland.
Scotland, seeking to reach the knockout stages at a major tournament for the first time:
Scotland. Steve Clarke’s side appear to have slipped backwards since their exceptional qualifying campaign, drifting from dark horses to outsiders in a tricky Group A.
That said, if you have to play Germany in Germany, this is the time to do it – when rustiness and first-night nerves could really play a part. All the pressure is on the hosts tonight, and the longer Scotland can keep them at bay, the greater the tension inside the, er, Munich Football Arena. There lies the path to a shock victory – and if you can’t dream now, when can you?
Kick-off is at 9pm local time, 8pm BST and we’ll have all the buildup, team news and coverage of the opening ceremony. Auf geht’s!
