    Niclas Fullkrug says Germany can't let Scotland "show their dynamism" on Friday.

    Steve Clarke's side face the Euro 2024 hosts in the tournament opener in Munich on Friday.

    Germany go into the game off the back of a 2-1 comeback win in a friendly against Greece while Scotland sacrificed a two goal lead to draw 2-2 with Finland in their final warm-up before the competition kicks off.

    "We learnt some lessons from the Greece game which will be useful against Scotland," the Borussia Dortmund forward said.

    "I’m interested to see how the coaches will prepare us for the game.

    "I watched a Scotland match and they played differently to how I expected.

    "They press very high. Against us, there’ll be phases where they’ll sit deeper.

    "They try to get into shooting situations as quickly as possible, so it’ll be important that we counter that and not let them show their dynamism.

    "We’ll prepare intensively this week. It’s not just about preparing for the opponent, but also keeping our energy levels up and improving ourselves."

    With the Euros opener against Germany just four days away, here's how some of the Tartan Army are making the trip:

    Eric: Flying in from Portland, Oregon. Meeting five old pals from Dumbarton in a rented van that's just gone overnight in a ferry from Newcastle to Amsterdam then a quick drive to Munich.

    Anonymous: Traveling from Wellington, New Zealand Leave on Wednesday night and will fly via Singapore to Frankfurt. Close to 30 hours of travel. Hopefully have a bit of a sleep then train to Munich the morning of the game.

    Selbs: Germany from Australia! A 12 hour bus journey to Adelaide airport, then Bali, Kuala Lumpur, Istanbul and eventually Dusseldorf.

    Allyson: Flying from New York via Dublin to Munich, then using trains to move about Germany. When Kenny McLean scored in Norway I said "let's go" and splurged on package.

    David: Travelling from Perth Australia on Tuesday to Munich for my first major tournament. I am 69 so it's never too late. 17 hour flight but once I arrive be all worth it.

    Peter: Set off on 3 June in a motorhome. I have spent last few days in northern France and I'm just about to cross the border and stay tonight in Freiburg then onto Munich where apparently there's a game on Friday!

    Gordon: Melbourne to Saigon to Frankfurt to Munich - and on the way back going via Helsinki. Going to be the first time aged 44 that I see Scotland in a major tournament. Been regretting not going to France for 26 years!
