Euro 2020: Daily briefing

Scotland welcome the Czech Republic to Hampden Park this afternoon as the hosts play their first game at a major tournament in 23 years.

The two nations are joined in Group D at Euro 2020 by England and Croatia, who went head-to-head at Wembley Stadium yesterday as the Three Lions emerged 1-0 winnersthanks to a second-half Raheem Sterling goal. England will now be clear favourites to win the group, but the remaining teams will know that one victory may be enough to carry them into the last 16 as one of the four best third-placed finishers. Scotland and the Czech Republic would both snap a hand off for guaranteed qualification for the knockout stages, but must instead look to come out on top in this afternoon’s meeting.

The headline team news sees Kieran Tierney of Arsenal miss out on the matchday squad. Liverpool defender Andrew Robertson captains the side from left wing-back. Manchester United’s Scott McTominay and John McGinn of Aston Villa start together in the centre of midfield.
