Good morning,

Welcome to Tuesday's edition of The Scotsman newsletter.

There are two significant events to draw your attention to today. The first is a Covid-19 update later this afternoon where First Minister Nicola Sturgeon will announce if Scotland will see further restriction easing or if the next steps out of lockdown are delayed once again.

We'll have all the news as it breaks as well as detailed analysis of what it means for you. Head to our homepage during the day for the latest.

Then later this evening Scotland will face Croatia at Hampden for their crunch Euro 2020 decider. Only a win will give the Scottish men a chance of getting through to the knockout stages, an achievement we've never before managed in any major international tournament in our history.
