Scotland fan walking to Euros passes halfway mark

A Scottish football fan walking to this summer’s European Championships football tournament has passed the halfway point in his journey.

Craig Ferguson decided to make his way on foot to Munich for the opening game between Germany and Scotland on 14 June in a bid to raise money and awareness for men’s mental health charity, Brothers In Arms.

The 20-year-old from Paisley has already passed through four countries on his 1,000 mile trip, and is now in Luxembourg.

However, Craig still has one problem facing him – as he doesn’t have a ticket for the game itself yet.

He told the BBC Radio’s Good Morning Scotland that getting to see Steve Clarke’s men in action would be “a bonus”, as he was focused on helping his chosen good cause.

He said: “It’s been the journey of a lifetime. I’ve got a love for travel and exploring anyway, but on this journey going through so many different towns, cities and villages you meet so many amazing people.

“It really has been something so special so far.”
