Good morning,

Welcome to your Wednesday newsletter from The Scotsman.

The Euros are now just two days away! Ever since David Marshall palmed away Aleksandar Mitrovic's penalty in Serbia, the entire nation has waited with bated breath to boogie on down to Hampden Park and drink in the atmosphere of Scotland in a major tournament.

Might we see the stars align and Scotland escape the first round for the first time ever? Maybe, but we will see the sun and moon align this week in an awe-inspiring solar eclipse.
