The Scotland fans facing a dilemma for the Germany match

For Scotland fans it does not get much better than the possibility, however remote, of upstaging the hosts in the opening match of Euro 2024.

Yet for a small cohort Friday’s game against Germany will not be a straightforward binary affair.

Law student Alexander Kersting will be something of a walking contradiction in Munich as he sports a kilt and a Germany strip.

Born in Munich to a Scottish mother, he has spent most of his life in Germany – apart from two months in Glasgow – lending his accent a distinctly Caledonian twang.

Someone who could never be accused of being a glory hunter, Alexander has cheered on Scotland throughout their “euphoric” Euros qualifying campaign.

Now he cannot wait for the showpiece match in Munich.

“I’ve never really seen Scotland play a game this big,” he told BBC Scotland News.

“It’s the opening game in Germany, in my home town. It’s going to be pretty emotional.”

Alexander said he will have to wait until a ball is kicked to decide who he really wants to win.

He added: “On the one hand, of course, it would be good for Germany to have the three points as they definitely have the better chance of winning the Euros.

“On the other hand, Scotland can be proud of what they have achieved and they deserve to win as well, so I can’t make up my mind.”
