Scotland midfielder Callum McGregor is relishing the prospect of opening Euro 2024 against the hosts.<\/p>\n

Steve Clarke\u2019s side will kick off the tournament on June 14 against Germany at the Allianz Arena in Munich.<\/p>\n

Scotland will also take on Hungary and Switzerland in Group A following Saturday\u2019s draw in Hamburg.<\/p>\n

McGregor said: \u201cIt was great watching the draw. We have three really good teams and it\u2019s a strong group.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen you get to a tournament that\u2019s what you want to do, you want to be against the best teams and that\u2019s what we\u2019ll do in the opening game against Germany.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt doesn\u2019t come much bigger than that as an occasion and everyone is looking forward to it.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scotland opened the 1998 World Cup with a 2-1 defeat by Brazil at the Stade de France in their most recent major tournament on foreign soil.<\/p>\n

Celtic captain McGregor said: \u201cI don\u2019t remember the 1998 game as such but I have heard people talking about it.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s going to be such a brilliant occasion opening the whole tournament.\u201d<\/p>\n
