Manchester United’s Scott McTominay is optimistic that Scotland will make history tonight when they take on Germany in the opening match of the 2024 Euro competition.

The 27-year-old Old Midfielder played a pivotal role in helping Steve Clarke’s men seal a place at the Euros for the second time in a row, scoring seven goals in the qualifiers as Scotland finished runners-up behind Spain in Group A.

There were fears that Liverpool left-back Robertson’s involvement against Germany could be in doubt after he limped out of training earlier this week. But manager Clarke confirmed on the eve of the game that his entire squad is “ready to go”.

Lawrence Shankland also withdrew from training with a “niggle” but is expected to be fit for the Group A opener, as is Stuart Armstrong, who has been training individually since overcoming a muscle problem. Aaron Hickey, Ben Doak and Lyndon Dykes were all ruled out of the tournament before the squad flew to Germany.

Following Aleksandar Pavlovic being sent home with tonsillitis and replaced by Emre Can, there are no injury problems for Julian Nagelsmann to contend with as Germany looks to put their recent tournament struggles behind them and deliver on home soil.

Germany may be the host country for the Euro 2024, but they are under pressure after suffering group-stage exits in two of the last three major tournaments.

Scotland, meanwhile, come into the Euro 2024 opener buzzing after victories over three-time winners Spain, Norway and Georgia in qualification.

However, their record is also dubious: they have never made it out of the group stage of the European Championships.
