Scotland are preparing to take on Germany in the opening game of Euro 2024 on Friday night At one stage during qualifying for Euro 2024, Scotland were the best team on the continent But they have been knocked from their perch in recent months amid a difficult run of form But has that dampened the mood? It's been a tough period for Steve Clarke, but his side are still full of optimism ahead of Friday John McGinn donned a Bavarian hat and joined in a traditional dance with lederhosen-wearing locals when Scotland arrived at their base, showing the good spirit Scotland are in McGinn and fellow talismanic star Scott McTominay will be crucial if Scotland are to succeed When Robertson’s ankle was struck by a ball in a freak incident in training earlier this week, the coaching staff winced and feared the worst. We gave them a right good game on the back of that.’ But the absence of Bologna's Lewis Ferguson is a huge blow for the Tartan Army's hopes Andy Robertson also gave Clarke an injury scare, but he should fine to play against Germany The version we have seen of Scotland in recent months will not be giving anyone a ‘right good game’.
