Scotland fans officially voted best supporters at Euro 2024

Scotland's fans have officially been voted as the best supporters at Euro 2024.

The Tartan Army has prevailed victorious from a poll conducted in Germany while the major tournament rumbles on.

According to German media outlet RTL, the Scots have officially been voted as the best supporters at the competition. Viewers of the German news channel cast the votes. 

Scotland came out on top and won the voting by a landslide, claiming a score of 52 percent. 

Germany themselves had 11 percent, while the Albanians had five, Croatians had four and the Italians two.

Responding to the poll online, it appeared to be little surprise that the Tartan Army emerged as the most popular. 

One X user wrote: "Never a doubt."

Another said: "So deserved! Greetings from Munich."

More German fans replied, saying: "We love you! The Scots enchanted our cities."

A fourth wrote: "You definitely are. We are thinking to naturalise you all! But beware of all the Germans coming on holidays next year - the expect you with bagpipes and singing all day Good luck for your next game! You put smiles on our grumpy faces."

Another comment read: "It's been brilliant seeing the Scots having the time of their life."

While one user did mention one nation who have closely rivalled the Scots, writing: "The Dutch must be close, their marches and dancing are awesome too."

The Tartan Army has been dotted around various locations in Germany, with the vast majority congregating in the west. 

It all started in Munich, with a flood of around 150,000 Scots migrating to the German city for the Group A opener to commence the tournament. 

Unfortunately, the hosts proved too good for Scotland, as they easily won 5-1. 

The second group match was in Cologne, with a hard-fought 1-1 draw earned against the Swiss.

It's all eyes on Stuggart now though, with Scotland's do-or-die clash against Hungary the main event on Sunday night. 

A victory would take Steve Clarke's side through to the last-16 on four points. Anything apart from that, and it would be curtains again at the group stage.
