No Scotland, no party. That’s certainly the case in Munich right now as the Tartan Army stage the mother of all drinking sessions ahead of tonight’s Euro 2024 opener between Scotland and Germany.
Goodness knows how many Scotland fans are in Munich right now. There are reports of parts of the city coming to a standstill as screeds of Scots celebrate the nation’s participation at the European Championships. Scotland are in Group A with hosts Germany, Switzerland and Hungary - with hopes high that the team can be the first Scottish one to qualify for the knockout stages of a major tournament.
Scotland fans have certainly been enjoying themselves overnight in the bierhalles across the Bavarian capital and we pick out some of the best images from the past 24 hours as Scotland supporters get ready for tonight’s opening match.
