THE Tartan Army has touched down in Munich ahead of Scotland’s opening game for Euro 2024.
Tens of thousands of Scotland fans have flooded the streets in Munich ahead of the national team’s opening match against Germany.
Scotland play the hosts of Euro 2024 in the opening game of the competition on Friday, June 14, as they look to cause a major upset with a victory.
Fans have been traveling throughout the week and will be cheering on the team regardless of the result.

Thousands of Scotland fans have been spotted dancing and singing in the streets ahead of the big game.
As the saying goes, no Scotland, no party, and the Tartan Army have certainly brought the party to Germany.
Streets have been lined with saltire flags and tartan kilts as the mood is merry among the Scots despite earlier forecasts for a washout.

Luckily for fans, the clouds have cleared and the Tartan Army has been packing out the many beer gardens in Marienplatz, the heart of the city.
Scotland has been dealt a rather tough hand as Hungary and Switzerland round out their group.

But manager Steve Clarke has insisted that his team can make it out of the group stage with just four points.
And that would be music to Scotland fans' ears as they would love to see their team make the knockouts.

Scotland have only qualified three times for the competition in their history.
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!
