The Scotland vs Czech Republic live stream is the first of today's Euro 2020 games, and there's a lot riding on it.

After qualifying for Euro 2020 following a play-off win against Serbia, Steve Clarke's tight-knit side will get the chance to enjoy a proper home reception in Glasgow. And they have a genuine chance of qualifying, with players like Scott McTominay and Andy Robertson quite capable of performing at this high level.
