The Tartan Army Returns: A Look Back at Their Historic 1974 Euros Campaign and What to Expect This Time Around

Fans of Scotland’s national football team are eagerly preparing for their team’s upcoming match against Germany in the opening game of the 2024 Euros. The excitement is palpable, and the memories of previous campaigns come flooding back as the Tartan Army reminisce about their past triumphs.

In 1974, Scotland fans took a daring approach to attending the tournament, hitchhiking all the way from Dortmund to support their team. Despite facing financial difficulties, they remained determined to stay on the continent until their beloved Scots were eliminated from competition. One fan even joked that they would be returning home on foot once Scotland won the cup.

Now, 50 years later, Scotland is once again starting their campaign in Germany. As they take to the pitch against their hosts, fans will be reminiscing about those days gone by while also cheering on their current squad with renewed vigor. The nostalgia and excitement of this moment create a sense of unity and anticipation among fans as they come together once more to support their team.
