SCOTLAND interim boss Michael McArdle described Germany as “perfect opposition” ahead of their Nations League double-header next month.

The Scots began their League A campaign with a 1-0 defeat in Austria and a 2-1 home loss to Netherlands, leaving them bottom of Group 1 as they turn their attention to the Germans, ranked third in the world and who are top of the section with four points.

McArdle welcomed Erin Cuthbert back into the squad for the games on April 4 in Dundee and April 8 in Wolfsburg, after the Chelsea midfielder recovered from a hip injury.
