It feels like there's not many people left in Scotland with the amount who have made their way to Munich for the opening match of Euro 2024.
The Tartan Army have travelled in their numbers for the first game against Germany tonight but it turns out there is still plenty in Scotland and have made their way into Glasgow city centre to soak up the atmosphere.
It's the first major tournament not affected by Covid since 1998 and the World Cup in France that Scotland have been at so everyone is making the most of it and there's been a buzz around the country for weeks.
Plenty of fans made their way to George Square and the Merchant City and will be crowding out pubs around the city to watch Steve Clarke's men.
James Paterson and Cameron Valentine were in George Square and kitted out for the game, complete with their No Scotland, No Party flag.
Germany has certainly shown us that is true.
Three more who were out for the game were Caroline Jess (left), Louise Millar and Craig Millar and the face painters have done a good join with the saltires on show.
The fan zone in Munich might have ended up a bit too full but there was plenty of space for this lot in Merchant Square in Glasgow.
The atmosphere has been building all day and imagine how good it will be if - no when - Scotland score the winning goal.
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.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
