New research has revealed that a surprising 35% of Scots will be cheering for England their Auld Enemy at the Euros as well as their own team.

A recent Betfair survey has shown that 35% of Scots will be rooting for England alongside their own nation at Euro 2024 this summer. However, a majority of 65% of Scots refuse to support another nation – particularly their arch-rivals – and will solely back Steve Clarke’s men.




In contrast, a significant 61% of English football fans will be supporting their Northern neighbours this summer, admitting they will cheer Scotland on as well as England at the Euros.

A smaller proportion will focus solely on England (39%), which is a stark difference compared to Scottish fans, reports the Daily Star.

When it comes to tournament expectations, English fans are far more optimistic than Scots this time around. An impressive 25% of English football fans predict their team will reach the final, while just 5% of Scottish fans believe their team could make it there.

A total of 44% of Scots believe they won’t progress past the group stages, with 36% hoping they get to the round of 16. A smaller pool of Scottish fans (11%) think that they’ll make it to the quarter finals, with even fewer (4%) believing that they could make it to the semi-finals.

On the other hand, only 1% of English fans believe they won’t make it past the group stage while 7% fear the exit will come in the last 16.

A strong 30% of English fans will be anticipating a quarter-final drop out, and an even stronger 37% anticipating a heartbreaking semi-final defeat.
