Tartan Army Gather in London's Leicester Square Ahead of EURO 2020 Showdown Against England

15:19 GMT 18.06.2021 (Updated: 15:24 GMT 28.05.2023)

Leicester Square street, central London - Sputnik International, 1920, 18.06.2021

The UK authorities' earlier warned that Scottish fans should only come to London if they have a match ticket. Nevertheless, nearly 20,000 fans have descended on the capital.

Sputnik is live from London where Scottish football fans have filled out Leicester Square to support their national team ahead tonight's game against old rivals England at Wembley.

Locals have voiced concern about the Scots' behaviour as they've been accused of leaving a trial of trash in London and ignoring COVID-related social distancing. Nearly 20,000 have reportedly rocked up in London, while UEFA have only allocated 3,000 tickets for Scottish fans.
