Scotland assistant hopes opportunity knocks in Germany

Mark McGhee does not see any weaknesses in the Germany team but is optimistic about Scotland’s chances in their 2016 European Championship clash next Sunday.

Ireland’s Group D rivals will meet in Dortmund in their Euro 2016 qualifying opener, with few giving Scotland a chance against a team who won the World Cup so impressively in the summer.

However, the Scotland assistant manager, while acknowledging the talent within the Germany squad, believes there will be “opportunities” for Gordon Strachan’s side to get off to a positive start in the campaign.
