Scotland’s Euro 2024 fan zone locations revealed as Tartan Army parties at home
SCOTLAND fans who can’t make it to Germany for Euro 2024 will still be able to soak up the atmosphere at special fan zones.
The national team’s matches will be shown on huge outdoor screens across the country.
Some are free community events while others will be run by events firms, with ticket prices up to £90 for a bench that seats six.
But the moves to get home-based supporters together was praised by Hamish Husband, of the Association of Tartan Army Clubs.
He said: “Fan zones are a great idea for those who can’t get to Germany.
“It will give them a chance to watch the Scotland games in a crowd.
“They will provide a brilliant atmosphere and a chance for folk to sit with each other and cheer on our team with family and pals.”
Hamish added: “I’m sure that most fans would want their local authorities to at least consider setting up a fan zone in their area. They would definitely be popular.”
