Scotland fans’ ‘touch of class’ spotted as they help elderly man in walking frame during rain storm washout in Cologne

IT take a lot to dampen the spirits of the Tartan Army.

And no amount of torrential rain could harm their good nature either.

The Scotland fans performed a mass exodus from Munich over the last few days after Friday’s 5-1 loss to Germany in the opening match of Euro 2024.

Next up for Steve Clarke’s men is Switzerland, with the crucial must-not-lose clash taking place in the city of Cologne tomorrow night.

Despite thunderstorms creating chaos in the fan zones, the thousands of travelling supporters have been in party mode.

Some even took over one of the city’s most famous landmarks.

A few famous faces have been spotted enjoying the atmosphere too.

Today as the rain poured down, there was time for a heartfelt moment that showed why the Tartan Army is so popular.

Video footage has emerged on social media of two Scotland supporters lending a helping hand to an older gentleman, believed to be a local, as he made his way across the busy square.

Two men in kilts and Scotland tops walked alongside the pensioner and held an umbrella above his head to keep him dry, as the “No Scotland, No Party” chant could be heard in the background.

The man was using a walking frame to navigate the cobbled streets of the plaza which no doubt would have been slippery due to the wet conditions.

Fans on social media praised the Tartan Army men for their conduct.

One said: “A touch of class from The Tartan Army.”

Another comment read: “Imagine if we all looked out for each other like this how much better the world would be. Respect.”

A third fan said: “Love it well done lads.”

A German observer commented: “The Scottish fans are absolutely top class. The Scottish team has to stay in the tournament. I wish you all the best.”

While this fan added: “No Scotland no party… that’s so kind of them.”

Another described it as “the most wholesome moment of Euro 2024”.

Former Celtic striker Chris Sutton also noticed the video, saying “this is lovely.”

And the official FC Koln Twitter (X) account said: “Scotland fans, we knew we’d love having you here for the Euros. You’re always welcome.”
