Scotland head coach Steve Clarke has named his starting team for the Euro 2024 opener against Germany.
The Scots kick-off the tournament against the hosts in front of 75,000 spectators at the Allianz Arena in Munich with the match set to get underway at 8pm BST.
Scotland go into the match as heavy underdogs against a Germany side considered among the favourites to go all the way to the final on July 14.
The Tartan Army have been debating over Clarke’s possible starting 11 all week with selection dilemmas all across the pitch, particularly in midfield and defence.
The time for predictions is now over with the Scotland teamsheet locked in with one major omission in midfield and a decision made on the striker who will lead the attack.
Here is the Scotland starting XI to face Germany in the first match of Euro 2024...

7. Callum McGregor
The Celtic captain has been preferred to Billy Gilmour - a shock omission from the starting XI. McGregor will be relied upon to keep possession at the base of the Scotland midfield as he reaches 61 caps for his country. Photo: Craig Williamson - SNS Group
