Traditionally, fans would gather in Trafalgar Square for the game but the Mayor of London has closed this off to allow a fan zone for the capital's key workers.
Sadiq Khan warned yesterday that ticketless fans could lead to a spike in the city's Covid rate.
But fans wouldn't allow the Mayor to rain on their parade and have been filmed filling the streets of the capital already.
A fan draped in a huge Scotland flag was captured on film atop a street sign at King's Cross Square.
He led a crowd in chanting: "We've got McGinn, super John McGinn.
"I just don't think you'll understand. He's Steve Clarke's man, he's better than Zidane, we've got super John McGinn."
Scotland face off against England tomorrow at Wembley Stadium in both teams' second game of the tournament.
The home side is fresh from a win against Croatians while the visiting team was beaten 2-0 by the Czech Republic at Hampden on Monday.
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!
