Fans were advised by police not to travel unless they have somewhere to watch the game

The time has come for the Tartan Army, 23 years since their team last competed in a major football tournament, they have descended on London to watch Scotland versus England.

Despite police asking fans not to travel unless they have secured a booking in a venue to watch the game, up to 20,000 Scotland fans have travelled to watch Steve Clarke’s team at Wembley.
