SOUNDBITE (German) Joachim Loew, Germany head coach:

(On Germany's Euro 2016 qualifying position)

"Yes we can almost say we are through with 19 points currently, Poland with 17 and Ireland with 15. A draw would be sufficient in Dublin, but that's not that German style. We never play for a draw, I don't even think we can do that. What we really aim for is at least one more victory from the two following games, hopefully against Ireland."

SOUNDBITE (English) Gordon Strachan, Scotland head coach:

(On Scotland's Euro 2016 qualification hopes)

"Before somebody asks, we're still in this. Trust me, we're still in this. We play like that, same determination with a wee bit luck, there's no doubt about it when you play the world champions you need a wee bit of luck, you don't need deflections coming off somebody's foot and creeping into the back of the net. They never had that and they might of thought to themselves 'we've not had any luck tonight' but they went through that pain barrier so we are still in this. So I can't wait to have them back together to go for it again the next two games."

SOUNDBITE (English) Gordon Strachan, Scotland head coach:

(On Germany)

"You're talking about a team and players in that team… somebody said to me out there 'you didn't attack them too often'. Ask Brazil how they got on against them. Jesus."
