Thousands of Scotland fans are descending on London ahead of Friday's Euros clash with England at Wembley.

And while many of them have admitted to not having a ticket for the game, that's not stopped the Tartan Army having a party.

Our sports reporter Andrew Maclean is in the UK capital for the match and captured these scenes outside King's Cross Station.

Scotland fans have adopted the Bacarra track - Yes Sir, I Can Boogie - as their unofficial anthem after a clip of Steve Clarke's side singing it following November's penalty shoot-out win over Serbia to secure qualification went viral.

And it's hoped a remix by our own George Bowie could reach number one this weekend.

It's the first time Scotland have qualified for a major tournament in 23 years.

But, whatever the result tomorrow night, the fans are there to enjoy themselves.

Earlier in the day, our sports editor Alison Conroy spotted kilt-wearing Scotland supporters, bedecked in Saltires, lapping up the atmosphere in London.

And the Tartan Army made a splash with locals in London by squirting washing up liquid into the fountain at Leicester Square.

The local paper reports "there was little or no trouble, with just one fan was arrested for drunkenly dancing naked in a fountain."
