A SCOTTISH primary school is among those joining the chorus of voices backing Steve Clarke’s men as they prepare to kick off Euro 2024 against Germany – and brought a smile to many faces in the process.
The Tartan Army has descended on Munich, with even First Minister John Swinney getting involved.
Those not in Germany are plenty loud themselves, however, and St Joseph’s Primary School in East Renfrewshire captured the mood perfectly.

“Who’s going to win?” she asks the crowd of kids, clad in Scotland kit – and in a display of optimism that would hopefully last a few hours yet, they respond clearly: “Scotland!”
The full room then joins in with a chant of “No Scotland, no party”.
Scotland kick off their Euro 2024 campaign against Germany and will also face Switzerland in Cologne and Hungary in Stuttgart.

“Fantastic. Go Scotland! Well done St Joseph’s,” said Maureen Pickering in reply to the tweet.
Other social media users hailed the clip as “fabulous” and “brilliant”.
Over in Germany, Munich issued an urgent warning to fans as crowds flooded its city centre.

The Euro 2024 host city’s official Twitter/X profile has posted a call for tourists to leave Marienplatz and spread out elsewhere.
It came as Scotland fans clamoured for public viewing spots and amid reports of more than 200,000 having made the journey to Germany.
In a tweet. the city of Munich's official account expressed concern around overcrowding in the city, as fans gather for drinks at Marienplatz.
The account (@muenchen) wrote on Twitter/X: "URGENT!!! The #Marienplatz is overcrowded. There will definitely be no public viewing there. Please spread out elsewhere in the city! The fan zone is also about to close. Please don't go to the Olympiapark anymore! #uefaeuro2024 #munich #GERSCO".
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
