Euro 2024: Who are the ITV commentators for Slovenia vs Denmark?

Euro 2024 commentator Pien Meulensteen working for Sky Sports at a game between Brentford and West Ham in February 2024.

Slovenia and Denmark will kick off the action in Group C on Sunday afternoon ahead of England rounding out the group’s first round of fixtures by taking on Serbia later in the day.

ITV’s Euro 2024 punditry team will host coverage of the 5pm kick-off, with Slovenia playing in just their second-ever Euros as an independent nation having last qualified in 2000. They also went to the World Cup in 2002 and 2010, but have never made it past the group stage of any of their major tournament outings.

Denmark were shock winners in 1992 despite failing to qualify for the tournament – they were a late replacement for the dissolving Yugoslavia – and surprised many by reaching the semi-finals at Euro 2020, ultimately losing to England in extra-time.

The legendary former Rangers and Scotland centre-forward twice won the European Golden Shoe as the top scorer in all of Europe’s domestic leagues, in 1992 and 1993.

Since retiring in 2001, McCoist has been a regular presence on TV and radio as a pundit and presenter, and had a three-year spell as manager of Rangers during a from 2011-14, helping them climb back up from the fourth tier to the second following their three-league relegation after going into administration.
