The supporters have been photographed gathered outside King’s Cross train station after making the journey from north of the border – despite being advised not to due to ongoing Covid concerns.
Dozens of fans were filmed dancing and singing their adopted anthem Yes Sir, I Can Boogie, a 1977 hit by Baccara, outside the travel hub, and many other were pictured splashing about in a fountain in Leicester Square and drinking ahead of tomorrow’s match.
Here are some pictures showing the Tartan Army’s party atmosphere in London.
