Key quotes after the draw for Euro 2024 was made on Saturday in Hamburg:

"It'll be nice to open the tournament, be involved in that first game, and hopefully we can set the tournament off with a good match. For us we've got to make sure it is not about the occasion, it's about the match. We look forward to it, it's an exciting draw."

Scotland manager Steve Clarke, whose side will play hosts Germany in the opening game of the tournament in Munich on 14 June:

"A very interesting group... It will be a very nice start against Scotland in Munich. The other games will also be exciting duels. It's not a group of death, but a very good one. I have coached a few players from Hungary, I know what they can do. Hungary plays very interesting football. Against Switzerland it will be a little derby against a direct neighbour."

GERMANY COACH JULIAN NAGELSMANN

“We're hugely excited to be part of the tournament, we know the expectation at home. We've developed a lot as a team over the past few years, we're used to these big games, we're ready for the expectation and we hope we can give our supporters some more brilliant nights as I think we have in the last few tournaments."
