Scotland fans will see a strong police presence for their friendly against Turkey with 200 officers assigned to monitor the travelling Tartan Army.
Turkish fans snapped up over 30,000 tickets to see their country play Steve Clarke's side next week in less than an hour as excitement grows for the first-ever international match in Diyarbakir And there is expected to be one police officer for every two of the estimated 400 Scotland supporters making the trip.
Scotland will face Turkey for the first time in 62 years next week in a groundbreaking friendly in the Kurdish stronghold of Diyarbakir. Although the SFA were allocated 1,250 tickets at just £2 per brief, only around 400 Scotland fans are expected to travel to the southern outpost. The match has generated huge interest in Diyarbakir, with the 30,000 home tickets for the game snapped up in under an hour after being put on an online sale. And tourist chiefs have reported that every hotel room in the city has been reserved for the historic game.
