Updates from this 7.45pm BST kick-off in Group CEmail Michael | Sign up to Football DailyThis piece is worth your time.Looks like Scotland are moving from the 4-4-2 against Denmark back to a more familiar 4-2-3-1. That is Adams leading the line, McTominay in the No 10 role, Doak-Gammon on the left and McGinn on the right wing. Only four players – Denis Law (30), Kenny Dalglish (30), Hughie Gallacher (23) and Lawrie Reilly (22) – have more goals than McGinn (20), who is a canny presence in that more advanced role.

4 h. ago Nuremberg review – Russell Crowe’s Göring vs Rami Malek’s psychiatrist in swish yet glib courtroom showdown

Crowe and Malek are hugely watchable but this ultimately fails to deliver an authentic version of eventsIf the Nuremberg trials were political theatre, writer and director James Vanderbilt leans into the spectacle of it. His new movie Nuremberg, about the show put on for the rest of the world to indict Nazi war criminals, is packaged like old-fashioned entertainment. There are movie stars (chiefly Rami Malek and Russell Crowe) with slicked-back hair, trading snappy barbs and self-important monologues in smokey rooms, meanwhile the gravity of the moment tends to be kept at bay.
