Scotland vs Morocco, Friday, June 19. Kick-off at 11pm.

Scotland vs Brazil, Wednesday, June 24. Kick-off at 11pm.

Justin Kluivert – Netherlands, Group F

Like Gannon-Doak, Kluivert faced a challenge to return from injury to make the squad.

But a few appearances off the bench at the back end of the season convinced Ronald Koeman he was ready to be on the plane to the finals.

Netherlands vs Japan, Sunday, June 14. Kick-off at 9pm.

Netherlands vs Sweden, Saturday, June 20, kick-off at 6pm.

Netherlands vs Tunisia, Friday, June 26. Kick-off at midnight.
