Scotland's match against France was delayed this evening.
Kick-off for the international friendly game was pushed back by 10 minutes.
This was due to the speed at which fans have been able to enter the Pierre-Mauroy stadium in Lille.
The official Scotland national team X account posted: "Please note, there will be a 10-minute delay to the kick-off to tonight's match to allow all fans to enter the stadium."
Please note, there will be a ten minute delay to the kick-off to tonight's match to allow all fans to enter the stadium. #FRASCO

It's believed additional security checks were put in place following a suspected terrorist attack in Belgium last night where two football fans were shot dead.
Fresh off the back of sealing Euro 2024 qualification - when Spain defeated Norway - Scotland play France in a friendly contest.

Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
