Harsh footballing lesson
Scotland were taught a harsh footballing lesson on the big stage on Friday evening when they were demolished by a rampant Germany in the Euro 2024 curtain-raiser. The Scots had little answer to the attacking prowess of the host nation and had to rely on an own-goal from Germany’s Antonio Rüdiger to deny the hosts a clean sheet in what was a thoroughly one-sided affair.

Embarrassing result
On the back of this embarrassing result, Scotland will look to salvage some pride when they face Switzerland on Wednesday evening although Steve Clarke’s men are outsiders to claim the three points here at a best price of 18/5. Indeed, Switzerland got things off to an excellent start in their tournament opener with a convincing 3-1 win against Hungary on Saturday, Kwadwo Duah, Michel Aebischer and Breel Embolo scoring for the Swiss with Barnabás Varga scoring a consolation for the Magyars.
Rock bottom
Switzerland are odds-on favourites to secure all three points here and keep intact their perfect start to the tournament at best odds of 10/11, while a draw is on offer at a best price of 27/10. As things stand, Scotland sit rock bottom of the group with zero points after one game, while Switzerland sit in second position after Germany, goal difference alone separating the two sides.
