Manchester United boss Sir Alex Ferguson admits he's excited about Scotland being in the Euros this summer - and seeing Manchester United midfielder Scott McTominay and Chelsea youngster Billy Gilmour test themselves at tournament level.

In a wide-ranging interview, we hear from Sir Alex on how he signed McTominay as a junior player, his view on Gilmour's progress at Chelsea and also the exciting Scottish talent emerging in England like John McGinn and Kieran Tierney. Ferguson also discusses his emotions of seeing Scotland qualify for the Euros and his hopes of what they can achieve this summer.

Sir Alex was speaking as the Scottish FA and Glasgow Life join forces to release 50 individual UEFA EURO 2020 Glasgow Club Legacy Packs.

The first club to secure a pack is Sir Alex's former youth side Harmony Row, who will benefit from kit such as balls, bibs and goals to support their club activities and capitalise on surging interest in the national game ahead of this summer's competition.
