Scotland fans packed out Aberdeen’s pubs and fan zones for tonight’s opener against Germany.
Euro 2024 fever gripped the north-east contingent of the Tartan Army who gathered to watch a painful 5-1 defeat.
Hundreds filled up a sold-out fan zone at Resident X, with Marischal Square decked in flags and football strips for the beginning of the month-long football feast.
Kick-off was greeted with a deafening roar by a raucous crowd.
Three quick-fire German goals in the first half threatened to sap most of the party atmosphere – but in the face of a thumping from the host nation, songs could still be heard to will the team to the final whistle.
Families also headed to Aberdeen Beach for a fan zone at Codona’s and supporters took over the Dutch Mill Hotel on Queen’s Road.
Our photographers captured the best of the action across the city – can you spot yourself?
