Joshua King Head of Digital Engagement & Development

Good morning Voornaam,

We're midway through the week and usually that means people's attention starts to turn to the weekend. But today, that daydreaming takes on a very different complexion. Because the day after tomorrow, Scotland face Germany in the Euro 2024 opener. Whisper it...but is a shock result possible?

Five stories to start the day

- Fringe chief warns cultural events are now 'unattractive' to sponsors

- Who performed and who didn't on BBC Scotland's Debate Night debate?

- Pat Nevin's greatest Scotland team from last 50 years to face Germany

- Oil Rig horror game with 'uniquely Scottish story' now has Gaelic twist

- Scottish island, complete with cosy wooden cabin, up for sale for £500,000
