Arsenal attacker Lukas Podolski has taken a swipe at Scotland players.
Germany's Podolski has insisted that Scotland will resort to brutal tactics as they seek a result from their opening European Championship qualifier on Sunday.
"I think they will play a dirty game," said Podolski. "Teams like Scotland or Ireland, especially at home they are strong, but our focus is on winning the game on Sunday and this is important for us."
The 29-year-old also played down the defeat to Argentina, saying: "I think it was a good performance from us. We didn't have a bad game, we just didn't score.
"In the end, it was 4-2 and we must focus on the next game. It's important for us because it is a qualification game for the European Championship."
