The Scotland national team kicked off their Euro 2024 journey with a 5-1 defeat to Germany on Matchday One.

Steve Clarke's men struggled to hold possession throughout the match, and despite scoring by way of an own goal, did not record one single shot on target.

After conceding two goals inside the first 20 minutes, things went from bad to worse when Ryan Porteous was shown a straight red ahead of half-time – conceding a penalty that allowed Germany to further extend their lead.

The second half, while marginally better, saw Germany score a further two goals, with Antonio Rudiger's own goal being Scotland's only test of Manuel Neuer.

After a comprehensive defeat in Group A, here's how the national team got on at the Allianz Arena.

Angus Gunn 7

Got a strong hand on the opening goal but couldn't keep it out. Sharp off his line when needed and made a couple of top saves. Could do nothing for the rest of Germany's goals.

Andy Robertson 6

A quiet night for the captain that reflected the host's quality as much as it did Scotland's lack of bite in all areas of the pitch. Rallied when he could, but the heads of Steve Clarke's players hung low early on.

Kieran Tierney 6

Cheered when forcing a by-kick in the opening stages but left with little else to celebrate over the course. Made some powerful strides forward but lacked an out ball.

Jack Hendry 5

Might have reacted quicker to narrow the angle of Germany's second, despite Musiala's sublime technique.

Ryan Porteous 3

Conceded the penalty that put Germany out of sight at 3-0. Shown a straight red card for the same two-footed tackle just ahead of half-time.

Anthony Ralston 6

Typically energetic but lacked direction. Booked for halting one of the countless German counter attacks.

Ryan Christie 6

Like Ralston, threw himself into the match whenever he could but ultimately with scant results. Moved into the lone striker role after Scotland went down to 10 men, but was denied service.

Callum McGregor 5

Struggled to keep pace in the middle of the pitch against a fast and furious German press. Uncharacteristically lacked finesse until being substituted off on 67 minutes.

Scott McTominay 5

Caught in possession more than once and struggled to affect the game when pressing and counter-pressing the opposition.

John McGinn 6

Lively but could not hold the ball long enough to create or penetrate Germany in wide areas.

Che Adams 4

Ineffectual during his 45 minutes on the pitch, although Germany's stranglehold on the game meant he was starved of service.

SUBSTITUTES

Grant Hanley

Struggled to get across the box to close down number four. Let off the hook when Germany's fifth was ruled offside.

Billy Gilmour

On for Callum McGregor with just over 20 minutes of normal time remaining. Struggled to make an impact.

Kenny McLean

Swapped for John McGinn, and, like his colleagues coming off the bench, could not affect the match.

Scott McKenna

Played the final quarter of an hour in place of Kieran Tierney. Held the line well and forced Scotland's only goal of the game with a header that was ultimately turned in by the host's Rudiger.

Lawrence Shankland

Replaced Ryan Christie with nine minutes to go but failed to create anything at the top end of the pitch.
