On a December evening in Hamburg, Scotland's footballers learned they would open Euro 2024 against Germany in Munich — a fixture that compresses decades of longing and absence into a single, enormous moment. After 26 years away from major tournament football, Steve Clarke's side will step onto one of Europe's grandest stages not gently, but immediately, against the host nation and three-time continental champions. The draw is neither kind nor cruel; it is, in the way sport sometimes manages, exactly the kind of reckoning that reveals what a team is truly made of.
