Munich, Germany: Scotland coach Steve Clarke said his team should "fear no one" ahead of Friday's opening match against Euro 2024 hosts Germany in Munich.

Clarke hopes to become the first man to lead Scotland into the knockout phase of a major tournament, but his side face a tough assignment against the three-time European champions.

"We have a lot of respect for the host nation and we know they're a good team," said Clarke. "It's a difficult game. One of the mantras I've had is respect everyone and fear no one."

Scotland are taking part in the Euros for the fourth time. In 11 previous finals appearances, including eight World Cups, they have never made it beyond the group stage.

Clarke's side impressed in qualifying from a group featuring Spain and Norway, but went seven matches without a win before last week's victory over Gibraltar.
