All eyes are on Scotland as they prepare for their first major men’s tournament in over 20 years.

Connie McLaughlin is joined by two men who know all about Scotland’s near-misses and heartaches over the last two decades - Alan Hutton and Robert Snodgrass. They discuss the selection headaches Steve Clarke is facing all over the pitch, which players will stand out this summer and share their memories of playing for the national team.

We’ll hear a special interview with goalkeeper David Marshall, the hero who saved the decisive penalty that saw Scotland beat Serbia to reach the tournament and Ryan Christie reveals his excitement about the prospect of playing in front of fans at Hampden Park.

Pat Nevin drops by to tell us more about the manager Steve Clarke and how he’s provided a calming influence on the team, before Scotland defender Jen Beattie shares her experience of playing at the 2019 Women’s World Cup in France and how the men will be feeling ahead of such a big occasion.
