Euro 2020 will be Scotland’s first major tournament in 23 years, after failing to qualify for every tournament since the 1998 World Cup.
Scotland’s first game to be shown live on ITV is the mouthwatering clash between the Tartan Terriers and the Auld Enemy England at Wembley on June 18.
Brown is likely to be in the ITV studio for that game, as well as Scotland’s final group game against Croatia on June 22.
