No birthday plans for Billy Gilmour & players 'going all out' to claim place for huge German game

Scott McKenna revealed Scotland players are going all out to claim a place in Friday’s Euro 2024 opener against Germany.

Steve Clarke’s side get the competition up and running against the host nation in Munich and have settled into their training camp in Garmisch-Partenkirchen.

After a warm welcome from the locals at a reception following their arrival on Sunday, the Scotland squad have been stepping up their preparations for the match against Germany, which will have the eyes of Europe and beyond on it.

McKenna said: “The intensity has definitely stepped up since we got off the plane. We had the welcome when we first arrived and it was straight to work the next day.

“Obviously on the training pitch it is getting a bit more intense as well, gearing up towards Friday.

“With there being 26 in the squad, there is a lot of competition in every position and I think that’s what the manager wants.
