Conscientious Scotland fans have been tidying up after themselves in central London (Picture: PA)Scottish football fans have started picking up rubbish after thousands of them partied in central London ahead of tonight\u2019s match against England.
\nLeicester Square was packed to the rafters with supporters sporting kilts with their country\u2019s flag draped over their shoulders.
\nFans set off flares and sung along to the chorus of \u2018Yes sir, I can boogie\u2019 \u2014 which has become an unofficial anthem of the Tartan Army.
\nAs many as 22,000 supporters have flocked to the capital, but only 2,600 have managed to get tickets for Wembley.
\nWith no official fan zone with a big screen provided due to Covid, the vast majority are likely to scramble to pubs with space for them.
\nThere has been plenty of raucous behaviour over the past few days, including public nudity and swimming in water fountain, and belly-sliding on the rain-soaked concrete.
\nBut conscientious supporters have also made an effort to clean up after themselves ahead of kick off at 8pm. <\/p>\n

Despite their best efforts, the streets are unlikely to be left spotless today (Picture: PA)However the sheer quantity of cans, glass bottles and plastic bags means well meaning fans are unlikely to leave the place as they found it.
\nOther groups gathered in Hyde Park, turning it into an unofficial fan zone, despite pleas not to gather in large groups due to the pandemic.
\nSupporter Mark Graham said: \u2018It\u2019s a pity but it looks like Scotland will make their own fan zones. We\u2019ve booked a pub for last night and a pub for tonight so we\u2019re well prepared.\u2019
\nA spokesman for Mayor of London Sadiq Khan said: \u2018It is not possible to hold a fan zone for Scottish fans in London due to the Covid restriction.
\n\u2018Fans should only travel to the capital if they have a ticket or a safe place to watch the match.\u2019
\nPleading with authorities to give fans somewhere to watch the game, Connor Wilson tweeted: \u2018Just put a big screen up in Hyde Park next Friday and keep us aw happy, doesn\u2019t take much.\u2019
