AN entire country is in countdown mode to the Euros in Germany this June.
And while Scotland has Euro fever, today's Nations League draw in Paris has barely registered a sniffle.
Ah, the good old Nations League. This competition has been good to us over the years - it helped give Steve Clarke's men a nudge towards the last European Championships.
Incredibly, this is the fourth lap of the competition and yet most folk still seem to struggle to know what the heck is going on with it.
Like most fairground rides, it is perhaps best not to wonder about the hows and whys when getting spun around and sent upside down.
But the 2024 Nations League could be a ton of fun as well.
You see, Scotland are no longer mixing it with the waifs and strays of Europe in this tourney.
Oh, no... we're in among the big boys now.
