A SCOTTISH independence march is set to take place in Munich on Saturday following the opening to Euro 2024.
Germans for ScotRef, a group established by Yessers living in Germany arranged the march, which will take place after Scotland’s 5-1 loss to Germany.
John Swinney was among those in attendance for the sobering defeat on Friday evening as Scotland suffered a heavy defeat in their opening group-stage match.
In a post on Twitter/X, Germans for ScotRef said: “Ok, wisnae the best from Scotland the night.

The National previously spoke with Colin Macpherson, who organised a march in Berlin in March last year.
At the time, he said: “Our aim is to raise awareness in Germany and I think it’s important for the wider grassroots movement in Scotland to see there is international support there.
“During the referendum we had Unionists telling us nobody is interested in what you say in Scotland and we’ve seen that has changed a lot.
“It’s very important these events take place. It’s not necessarily a case of numbers, it’s more they are taking place. It’s about showing face.”
