Dejected Tartan Army fans pour out of Munich fanzone after first half horror show in Euro 2024 opener

FANS began streaming out of the Olympic Park fan zone at halftime after a disastrous 45 minutes in the Allianz Arena.

Three goals down and with a man sent off, it looked like Scotland was on a real hammering.

Iain Jurgenson, 48, from Helensburgh in Argyll and Bute, said: “I’m seriously disappointed.

“The Germans showed up, while we stayed in the dressing room.”

His 11-year-old son, Archie, added: ”That was terrible. We couldn’t keep the ball.”

Completing the family was Iain’s 83-year-old dad, Bob.

Kevin Dryburgh, who works in Qatar, also left early.

The 45-year-old said:” I think I’ll head back there now.

“We had a great party in the city but then the game began.

“Not one player was prepared to put his foot on the ball.”

Back in Scotland the Tennent’s Lager fanzone in Merchant Square, Glasgow had to open early to allow excited punters in to sample the atmosphere.

The stunning venue was packed with hundreds of Saltire-clad fans as they supped pints and cheered on the dark blues in their biggest game since 1998.
