@meiklejohn21
too!
Tomorrow we fly back home to Scotland. I’ll get this out now, as whatever happens later tonight, we’ll both be a mess!
Germany - thank you. Best hosts ever 🇩🇪🙌🏼❤️
IF we make it through, we’ll see you all again next week, wherever that may be….🤞🏼
Iain & Aleks 🇩🇪⚽️🏴

Wee man was in tears after Poland getting eliminated from the World Cup. The Colombian fans were absolutely fantastic with him after the game - easily the best group of supporters I’ve ever sat with. Amazing support 👏🏼🇨🇴🇵🇱

Last week at Tynecastle the wee man found this driving license up the back of the Wheatfield Stand at full time. Sent it back to the address on the card and today Aleks got in from school to this wee reward 👍🏼⚽️
@JamTarts
Today’s educational trip told us the following……
- The Main Tower is 240m tall.
- Frankfurt is the only German city with a ‘skyline’.
- Aleks needs to practice ‘football pool’.
- His measurements for finding the top corner are spot on! 🇩🇪⚽️🏴
#EURO2024
One of the best days ever!! The weather, the march to the stadium, the support from the locals, the atmosphere in the ground, and a result that keeps us in with a chance…….M’ON SCOTLAND!! ✊🏼🇩🇪⚽️🏴🇨🇭
#EURO2024
We got through my dad’s funeral this morning, the bottled up emotion certainly poured out when Marsh made that save! We did it!! 🙌🏼
The most emotional day imaginable! ❤️🏴🙌🏼

Three years ago this was how we felt at Hampden Park as Scotland exited a delayed Euro 2020 after defeat to Croatia 😢
Tonight, we have the opportunity to flip those emotions 100%.
M’ON SCOTLAND!! ✊🏼🇩🇪⚽️🏴🇭🇺
#EURO2024
For home-schooling today the wee man had to choose a famous Scot to draw and write about.
Burns, John Logie Baird, Alexander Graham Bell, Charles Rennie Mackintosh, Mary Queen of Scots, Sean Connery......
Nah. He didn’t choose ANY of them.....🏴⚽️

Me, a DUFC fan, FaceTiming my Jambo-daft son at full-time from Hampden as he’s currently in Poland with his mum and I promised him I’d go to cheer on his team for him 👍🏼🏆⚽️♥️
@JamTarts
Folk say that Hampden is a poor stadium with a terrible atmosphere. If you’ve been to the last two games v Israel and Denmark you’ll know that is utter nonsense! There is NO better stadium that a packed, jubilant Hampden Park! 🙌🏼🏴⚽️

When you’re touring Colombia and the highlight of the trip is seeing the joy on your World Cup 2018 friend’s daughter Isabella’s face when you present her with a

Hi, as an Arab with a Jambo-daft son, how do I go about making a one-off pledge on his behalf? Good luck with the forthcoming court case! 👊🏼⚽️
On the ferry from Ullapool to Stornoway to help my daughter move into her new house as she starts her probation year as a primary teacher - bumped into this Arab legend! 🙌🏼🏴⚽️

Last night after Poland’s defeat and elimination my young son was in tears. The fantastic Colombian fans started singing ‘Polska, Polska!’ to him and gave him lots of hugs. They were brilliant! 👏🏼🇨🇴⚽️
#rivalhug
Fair to say last night was one of the worst performances I’ve ever seen. And I’ve seen a load utter shite over the years.
Confidence will have taken a huge blow too.
We now need a night akin to ‘Sweden 1990’ v Switzerland if we’re to have any hope 🇩🇪⚽️🏴
#EURO2024
Dear Scots, those have been a wonderful couple of days with you. I could not be a happier mayor. You are always welcome to come back to Cologne!

I stay 10 mins from Murrayfield. Never been to a game of rugby in my life.
I’ll fly to Lithuania, Macedonia and Kazakhstan to see the Scotland fitba team get beat, but you couldn’t pay me to go to rugby.
Shite sport, shite fans.
Cracking couple of nights in Glencoe, forever my favourite place in the world! 🙌🏼🏴🏔️ The wee man takes the credit for the pic of the stag 🦌

Anyway, hospitality in the Gorgie Suite went down a treat for his 11th birthday weekend 👍🏼⚽️
@dundeeunitedfc
There’s been a clumsy negative space on the wings and between midfield and the strikers for years now. Any chance we can sort that out first? 😏
Absolutely gutted to miss my first competitive home
@ScotlandNT
match for more than 21 years tomorrow 😢
I have just had my hip ripped apart and rebuilt yesterday so at least I have an excuse! 🩼
Anyway, M’on Scotland, let’s get this group won!! ✊🏼🏴🇮🇪⚽️

Great point. My wife (Tesco worker) never missed a shift all last year through this shitshow while millions sat at home on furlough. Now the people who stood up last year are getting shafted 😡
