Scot bellyslides down London street in torrential rain as Tartan Army cheer him on

The Tartan Army has made an entrance in London and they aren't letting the rain put a damper on their celebrations.

Thousands of Scotland supporters have flocked to the capital for the EURO 2020 clash with England at Wembley tonight.

Travelling in from across the country, crowds of supporters have been taking over parts of London in the run-up to the game.

Bleary-eyed fans boarded the first train from Waverley at 5.30am on Thursday and were on the street at Kings Cross at 9.40am.

Footage shows them hitting the platform singing their travelling anthem “We’ll Be Coming Down The Road”.

Despite the weather, soaked fans are still venturing out and have been caught on camera making their own fun in Leicester Square.

Proving that a little bit of rain is nothing for the Tartan Army, one man was filmed bellysliding down a soaked street topless as others cheered him on.

Alex, who caught the hilarious scenes on camera, wrote: "Scotland fans in Leicester square".

The brave bellyslider has already gone viral, racking up thousands of likes.

One commented: "Lads, don't let them take your freedom away again."

Another added: "We learnt quickly to adapt to the weather. Bet that hurt though."

It comes after one Tartan Army member became a ball boy in the Serpentine and had to be fished out by a rescue boat.

The fan had swam after a ball that had bounced into the water but the ball moved ever further away.

He was eventually pulled out as he struggled in the middle of the lake.

Meanwhile, dentists Brendan Murphy and Allan Rennie have admitted they are fearing their wives' wrath after impulsively splashing out £3,300 on two tickets for the showdown.
