The Scotland legend enjoyed a radio debate with the former Crystal Palace chairman and Jim White.
Smirking Simon Jordan branded Germany “rubbish” but will take joy when they “pull Scotland’s pants down” despite mounting a defence of Steve Clarke as he enjoyed some on-air Auld Enemy banter.
Souness said: “Scotland don’t have the same quality as England. They have to try to nick games with a set piece or counter attack. Scotland can’t take the best teams on in a game of football. They have to come up with a plan. Scotland are a nation with less than five million people now ... for us to be there is a right result and I felt that as a player as well. The expectation level will be enormous and you should forever be an optimist.
And as Simon Jordan warmed up to have his say, Souness smirked: “You’re a nasty piece of work.” But Jordan said: “I’m about to defend the Scots. The only reason I ever say anything about the Scots is because I sit in a studio with Jim he says if England win a tournament it will be the worst day of his life so I have to defend that. But how can you draw any parallel between playing the French, Spanish and Dutch away - these are top, top sides.
“When you go to Germany and metaphorically get your pants pulled down then I’ll be able to turn around and say ‘enjoy the ride because the journey’s not going to take you very far’. The Germans are rubbish. Michael Ballack told me last week they were a poor side. The France result was fantastic but one swallow doesn’t make a summer. In recent times the Germans have been a really poor side. Then you’ve got the Swiss and Hungarians who are no great shakes.

Havertz's dive went to VAR, but no second yellow card was given. Souness believes that diving and pretending to be injured are the most annoying aspects of football and introducing a sin bin could eradicate them.
