Scotland Euro 2024 draw heaven and hell with threat lurking in every pot for Steve Clarke's heroes

The Tartan Army are ready for a Euro 2024 party in Germany - and all that is left for Scotland before the tournament is to find who will join Scotland on the dance floor.

Steve Clarke raced to a second consecutive European Championships with a run of five wins from five games - including a famous win over Spain at Hampden - all but sealing a spot in Germany at the midway point in the campaign.

Defeat to Turkey last weekend has raised the red flags again under the new boss. The pressure will only mount during the tournament on home turf.

Albania
