Members of the triumphant Tartan Army were on Saturday morning seen heading to train stations in London still celebrating Scotland’s 0-0 draw with England – after 20,000 fans took over the West End last night ahead of the Euros tie.

Scottish supporters – many still wearing kilts and football jerseys – were seen making their way across King’s Cross Station platforms before boarding trains to Edinburgh this morning.

Fans’ glum faces were in stark contrast to the jubilant singing and chanting seen by arriving supporters the central-London train station earlier this week. Many clutched Gatorade and water bottles in a likely bid to quell their raging hangovers.

Last night: Scotland fans let off flares in Leicester Square after the England v Scotland game ended in a 0-0 draw on Friday at Wembley Stadium

It comes after raucous clashes in central London last night, which saw 30 people arrested following the tense encounter at Wembley.

Before the end of the match, police cleared fans out of Leicester Square and sealed off the five entrances to the area, wary of any potential flare-ups between supporters.

Squads of police in fluorescent yellow jackets formed a human barrier to stop any fan from entering, while the William Shakespeare statue – which was scaled throughout the day – was also sealed off.

One England fan was arrested for taking a swing at an officer after he became angry at being unable to pass a police line. The other arrests included for racial aggravation, drunk and disorderly behaviour, possession of drugs and knuckle dusters. 

While Leicester Square was cleared before the match finished, more than 1,000 fans poured back into to the area from pubs in central London later in the night. Police eventually took the decision to allow them back inside the cordon.

Today, workers will have to clean up the mess from the night before, with the area described by some on social media this morning as looking ‘like a war zone’.
