Scotland fans must get the green light from UEFA to travel across the UK for the Euro 2020 clash with England at Wembley, says London mayor Sadiq Khan.
The Scots will travel to a major tournament for the first time in more than 20 years and as fate would have it, they face the Auld Enemy in London in their second game back on the big stage.
But it comes in unpredictable circumstances as UEFA have delayed their final decision on how many fans will get into their 12 host stadiums for the finals until April.
The ongoing pandemic has cast doubt over whether any supporters will be able to attend games by the summer - certainly in the UK, where most places are currently under strict lockdown restrictions.
Scotland were originally due to receive a bumper allocation of 14,400 tickets for the Wembley encounter, but that's in severe doubt now depending on how many, if any, fans get into the clash on June 18.
Even if a percentage of supporters are allowed in, it's been speculated UEFA will ban any away fans from attending games due to the risk of spreading Covid.
But Khan is hopeful fans from across Britain will be able to attend the eagerly-anticipated clash.
He said: "What we are speaking to UEFA about is, if it’s the case that it’s not possible for there to be foreign travel – no Spanish fans, German fans, French fans – to at least allow domestic fans.
"That will give us an opportunity to showcase London to Londoners going to the game or going out and about, but also those from across the country - and there is the England v Scotland game.
"The first phase of our recovery is going to be encouraging Londoners to go and enjoy the attractions in our city - London tourism, and visitors from around the country. A big opportunity is provided by the vaccines."
