Elsewhere in Germany, the countdown is on to kick-off in Hamburg, where the gates have just opened to the fan zone here.

It is one of the biggest in Germany for Euro 2024 with 40,000 expected to filter in over the course of the evening.

Plenty of Germany shirts and flags on show but there’s also a few Scotland fans here now as well.

Peter, Bruce, Crooksy, Tammy, Leon and Jimmy – below – took the plunge early, booking travel and accomodation to Hamburg before the draw for the groups was made.
