The third game, sandwiched between these fixtures, sees Scotland take on England at Wembley on 18 June - with a limited number of fans expected to be in attendance.

UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson has outlined his intention for sports arenas in England to be at full capacity by 21 June, with a limited number of fans allowed in from 17 May.
Wembley is scheduled to host England vs Scotland in a group stage match on 18 June, which at the moment would see a reduced capacity of 10,000 witness the action in the stadium.
There was some frustration after the roadmap laid out by Scotland’s First Minister Nicola Sturgeon only went up to the last week in April and didn’t mention the Euros specifically.
