More info There’s only one country more disappointed than us that the Tartan Army is beating a retreat from Germany – and that’s the Germans. Two weeks ago, the operators of Stuttgart’s Underground network posted notices of welcome to the Scotland fans. But the words of Robert Burns ‘Should Auld acquaintance be forgot’ inside carriages took on greater poignancy yesterday as sombre supporters began passing them on their way home.
The concession of a 100th-minute goal to Hungary’s Kevin Csoboth on Sunday night meant the Scottish-German love-in at Euro 2024 was ended in dramatic fashion. Rab Govans, a bricklayer from Hurlford in Ayrshire, enjoyed a liquid breakfast in the Stuttgart sunshine on Monday morning. The 65-year-old said: ”I’ve had people coming up to me, asking ‘What are we going to do without you? They are some of the loveliest people I have ever met.
The Germans have been absolutely brilliant towards us. “I’m topping up my tan this morning. I’m off to Cyprus on holiday in a fortnight but I know it will never touch this.
I got lost after the game and don’t have a phone. Two lads helped me out by getting in touch with my son via Facebook. “He gave them directions to my hotel.
I was six miles from where I should have been.” The city newspape.
