dailyrecord.co.ukFormer Rangers and Scotland hero Ally McCoist fears lack of goals could cost us dearly at Euro 2024, but says Steve Clarke’s side do have players that can cause problems for Germany in tonight’s opener.McCoist, from East Kilbride, who is on commentary duties in Germany this summer, and who was a prolific goal-getter for club and country, reckons Clarke will go one up top in the opening match in Munich.But whereas McCoist knows who Scotland’s best striker is, he doesn’t reckon he will start this evening.Speaking on TalkSport, McCoist said: “Scoring goals will be our problem.
They’ll start with one [up top], absolutely no chance he’s going to start with two, particularly the opening match against Germany.“I think the best finisher we’ve got is Lawrence Shankland, I genuinely do.

He’s the best finisher.“So just to contradict myself, I don’t think he will start against Germany. I actually don’t, because you’re talking about occupying centre-backs, where Germany have more possession.“We’ll need to attempt to get up the park, we need to try and get a free kick, we need to try and give our defence a break.“Che Adams is the one that can go in behind.“We’ll get out, we’ll be really well organised.
