WIRTZ IS YET TO COME

German wunderkids Florian and Musiala beg to be unleashed as they claim we are 'worried' about them

- SCOTT MCDERMOTT

TOGETHER, they're the future of German football.

But tomorrow night they plan to be the scourge of Scotland.

And if Steve Clarke's side are going to get anything from their Euro 2024 opener in Munich you get the feeling that if he can stop Jamal Musiala and Florian Wirtz, that would go a long way to achieving it.

This pair of 21-year-old wonder kids are just one of the reasons why Germany have a chance of winning this European championship on home soil.

Bayern Munich's attacking midfielder Musiala will pose a major threat to the Scots if he's allowed to find pockets of space between our midfield and defence.

While Bayer Leverkusen kid Wirtz, who is expected to start wide on the left of Germany's front line, will look to exploit a potential weakness in Clarke's team at right-back.

They'll both have to be nullified tomorrow night. But the worrying thing for Scotland is that neither Musiala nor Wirtz look as if they'll be fazed by any stage or any opponent.

And as they faced the media at their Euro 2024 base camp yesterday, Musiala - who spent most of his childhood living in England that we SHOULD be fearful about what they might do to us.

The former Chelsea youth player spent some time with Scots star Billy Gilmour in the Stamford Bridge set-up.

But as much as he rates the Brighton midfielder highly, Musiala is more concerned with what he and Wirtz can do on the Euros stage.

He said: "Billy is a few years older than me but I watched a lot of his games at Chelsea.
