Revisiting Scotland's seven meetings with Germany

Don Hutchison celebrates scoring Scotland's winner against Germany in a 1999 friendly

Scotland 0-2 Germany (June 1992)

In their only previous meeting at a Euros, the Germans ended Scotland's hopes of progression in 1992 with a 2-0 victory thanks to goals from Karl-Heinz Riedle and a deflected effort from Stefan Effenberg.

Germany's manager that day? A guy called Berti Vogts.

A friendly at Ibrox decided by another goal from Borussia Dortmund Champions League winner Riedle.

The match was one of the rare occasions when Scotland wore their salmon pink top with purple pinstripes.

Scotland's first and only win over Germany.

The winner in the Bremen friendly came from then Everton forward Don Hutchison, who started as a striker after advice from Tommy Burns to Craig Brown.

Vogts was appointed Scotland boss in February 2002 and found himself going up against his home nation in Euro 2004 qualifying.

After some poor form, Scotland earned an impressive point against the 2002 World Cup runners-up when Kenny Miller cancelled out Fredi Bobic's header.

Ah, Christian Dailly. The Scotland defender could be heard calling the Germans "cheats" - following a seven-letter expletive - during Vogts' post-match TV interview.

Goals from Bobic and Michael Ballack put the home side in front before Neil McCann hit back for the Scots, who had Maurice Ross sent off for two yellow cards shortly afterwards.

It was a similar story 11 years later. This time, Gordon Strachan's Scotland side lost narrowly to the recently-crowned world champions as Thomas Muller scored a double either side of IIkechi Anya's leveller.

Charlie Mulgrew was sent off late on for the Scots.

And 12 months on, it was another hard-luck story for Scotland as Muller again netted a double, with Strachan's side equalising twice through a Mats Hummels own goal and James McArthur's strike.

But Ilkay Gundogan's winner dented the Scots' hopes of reaching Euro 2016.
