As Scotland battle it out with Hungary tomorrow the Tartan Army face chaos in Stuttgart, after city officials say biggest fan zone will be used for Germany game
CHAOS is expected in Stuttgart after the 100,000-strong Tartan Army were told the Scotland game won't be shown at the city's biggest fan zone tomorrow night.
Tens of thousands of Scots have already arrived in the southern German city, despite just 10,000 tickets being made available for our clash against Hungary on Sunday.
The city has organised four fan zones for ticketless fans who want to soak up the Euros atmosphere but officials have said the Scotland match will only be screened in the smaller ones.
The Schloss Platz fan zone which is by far the largest, holding 30,000 people will instead screen Germany's game against Switzerland, which kicks off at the same time.
An official in Stuttgart said the Scots would be accommodated at three small fan zones in the city centre-but the area at Schillerplatz holds 2000 people, while about 2500 can fit in the fan zone at Marktplatz and there's space for just 1500 people at the Karlsplatz.
Officials say another "viewing area" at the Stadt Garten (Town Garden) which could hold 16,000, will be set up for the Tartan Army - but many punters are concerned about the facilities and worried there still won't be enough space for the Scots.
One Scotland fan from Peebles who turned up early in Stuttgart city centre said the Tartan Army had been "relegated" by the event organisers.
