Team’s Up – Ridiculously strong French team named to face Scotland

Scotland sealed their qualification to Euro 2024 after results went their way on Sunday. Now, Steve Clarke’s team will get to see what dining at the top table entails as they face France in Lille.

Despite the game being a friendly, Didier Deschamps has named an extraordinarily strong team, showing that he is keen to pick up a win regardless of the nature of the match.

In goals, AC Milan’s Mike Maignan starts.

Theo Hernandez is at left back with Marseille’s Jonathan Clauss operating on the right. In the central pairing, Liverpool’s Ibrahima Konate and Benjamin Pavard start.

In the midfield three, Real Madrid pair Aurélien Tchouaméni and Eduardo Camavinga start alongside their La Liga rival, Antoine Griezmann. The Atletico Madrid star will be in Glasgow later this month for the UEFA Champions League game against Celtic.

In attack, record goalscorer Olivier Giroud leads the line with PSG duo Ousmanne Dembele and Kylian Mbappe on the flanks.

Subs: Samba, Areola, Gusto, Lukeba, Kolo Muani, Rabiot, Thuram, Todibo, Fofana, Kamara, Coman, L. Hernández.

Meanwhile, the Scotland team: Kelly, Hendry, McKenna, Cooper, Patterson, McLean, Gilmour, McTominay, Taylor, Ferguson, Adams.
