The Euro 2024 opener between Scotland and Germany is now just a matter of hours away, and fans are already casting their minds back to some famous clashes against Die Mannschaf.
Believe it or not, it has actually been almost nine years since the side’s last faced each other. Meeting at Hampden Park on a cold September night in Glasgow for a Euro 2016 qualifier, the two teams played out an entertaining five goal thriller that saw then world champions Germany snatch a 3-2 victory in Mount Florida.
Managed by Gordon Strachan, Scotland sat in fourth place in their group and were in dire need of points in the qualification campaign. In an action packed first half, they found themselves behind after 18 minutes when a deflected effort from Thomas Muller put the visitors ahead. However, parity was restored 10 minutes later when Mats Hummels nodded beyond his own goalkeeper Manuel Neuer to send the Hampden crowd wild.
Germany would lead again just after the half hour mark though through a Muller header, only for James McArthur to fire Scotland level on the cusp of half time. When Ilkay Gundogan slotted home the visitors' winner in the second period though, Scotland were unable to respond.
But how many of the starting XI that night are still involved in the Scotland set up? Who has moved on, retired or perhaps even become the face of TV show? Here is what happened to every player that played in Scotland’s last game vs Germany.

1. GK: David Marshall
Marshall retired at the age of 41 earlier this week to become Hibs' new Technical Performance Manager. The defining moment of his career would actually come five years after this night, when he saved Aleksandar Mitrović's penalty in the shoot out win over Serbia, which saw Scotland qualify for their first major tournament in 23 years. The moment is now immortalised in Scottish football history. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group

2. RB: Alan Hutton
The former Rangers full-back was relegated with Aston Villa at the end of the 15/16 campaign. He would play regularly for the Midlands outfit as they toiled in the EFL Championship before retiring in 2019. Ended his career on exactly 50 international caps and is now a regular TV pundit. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group

3. CB: Grant Hanley
One of only two players from the starting XI that night to still be part of the Scotland squad, the Norwich City centre-back recently celebrated hitting a milestone 50 caps for the Tartan Army in the 2-2 draw with Finland. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group

4. CB: Russell Martin
Despite being just 38, the ex-Scotland defender is now viewed as one of the country's most promising bosses. After enhancing his reputation with both MK Dons and Swansea City, he was handed the reins at Southampton last summer and led them to promotion back to the top tier of English football at the first time of asking via the EFL Championship play-offs. Just five years into his managerial career, Martin's stock is high. | SNS Group Photo: SNS Group
