Louise Thornton, Head of Commissioning, BBC Scotland, says: “There’s nothing like a major football tournament to bring audiences together and we’ll have a wide range of programming that’ll keep the excitement at fever pitch.

“Our sports teams will have all the live action, news and views as Scotland look to progress through the group.

“In addition to coverage of all the action on the pitch, there’ll also be plenty of serious and light-hearted analysis in content such as the Euros podcast and Off the Ball. Euros 24 has all the makings of a great occasion and we’re delighted we’ll be with Scotland and the supporters every step of the way.”
