Scotland vs. Germany, Euro 2016 Qualifier: Team News, Preview and Live Stream

Germany continue their battle for first place in their qualifying campaign for Euro 2016 with a tough away tie at Hampden Park in Glasgow, Scotland on Monday. They will be asked to overcome a Scotland side that was recently undone by Georgia, as well as Germany themselves late last year. 

Joachim Low has come under some criticism since winning the World Cup, with his squad struggling to adapt to life without Philipp Lahm and seemingly finding it hard to be motivated after winning the greatest award football has to offer.

However, following a brief break over the summer months, the world champions bounced back with an impressive win over Poland on Friday, which saw Germany go top of their Euro 2016 qualifying group for the first time.

We await to see if they can continue their form against a wounded Scotland team desperate to get their own hopes of qualification back on track.

Team News and Lineups

Low confirmed at his pre-match press conference on Sunday afternoon, relayed by DW Sports, that he had no injury worries following the clash against Poland and a full team to choose from. As such, we should expect to see a similar side to the one we saw on Friday in Frankfurt. 

Similarly, Scotland have no fresh injury concerns to worry about and should put out a team not too dissimilar to the one we saw lose away to Georgia. Despite the result, manager Gordon Strachan will no doubt remain intent on sticking by the players who have served him relatively well thus far.

Key Players

With the clear gulf in quality between the two sides, Scotland's hopes undoubtedly lie upon the competent shoulders of goalkeeper David Marshall, who has stepped up and pulled off some fantastic saves on countless occasions throughout this qualification campaign.

Similarly, Scott Brown will be asked to play one of the games of his career if he is asked to once again sit in front of the back four as the only real defensive midfielder in the side.

On the other side of the pitch, Germany will be looking toward their attacking talent to ensure another three points in what should be a tricky contest. Mario Gotze stunned many with his two goals against Poland on Friday, and there's no doubt Low will be hoping for more of the same at Hampden on Monday night.

The man who seems to keep this German side ticking over is Real Madrid's Toni Kroos in the centre of the park. He'll need to make sure he doesn't let the physical aspect of Scotland's midfield faze him.
