Reported 200k Scotland fans descending on Munich for the opener tommorow. That's ridiculous numbers given they are not realistically going to win the Euros.

We are talking about the difference between Scotland fans and England fans behaviour at major tournaments. Not German or Dutch.
Scotland have a history of self policing. If someone starts to get out of hand they are dealt with pretty sharpish.
Exactly, when it comes to International Football and being good tourists, they are up there with best. Self policed, there to have a good time and not cause any issues. They may hate England but it's not a vicious hate, it's just a laugh.
England fans who travel - get sozzled, rude to the locals, have a few lines, launch a few cafe chairs around and then poop themselves when someone bigger comes along and act like general nobs. Take everything super seriously - you just have to watch that Netflix documentary to see that.

They are and will probably drink Munich dry. At least they’ll have fun without smashing the place up which is of course too many England ‘supporters’ usual idea of fun.
As for winning it? No chance. France or Portugal?
As a Manchester resident that witnessed Rangers fans absolutely destroying the city centre in 2008, not sure that I'm buying this "fun jock" narrative...
Not trying to stir the pot but Is saying 'Jock' offensive? I genuinely don't know.
I always wince when I hear it used but not sure if it should be on the 'do not use' list.
I would regard myself as Scottish, even though not born there, and I don't have an issue with the term Jock. Indeed, I even like the rhyming term sweaty as in sweaty sock = Jock

1977 home international. Always more Scots than Englishmen at Wembley in those days.
I was a confused young sorta English child living in Scotland at the time and was a supporter of both arbroath and Scotland, but was down in England with family. My English cousins wedgied me to within an inch if my life..

Schoolboy error, never wear pants between the age of 12 and 16.

That’s because Rangers fans are a bunch of moronic brain dead idiots who should be kept in zoos.

You have to differentiate between Scottish fans who follow the national team and scottish fans who follow the old firm.
Old firm fans can behave absolutely appalling, as we witnessed in Manchester. Fans who follow the national teams tend to be made up from outwith the old firm.
Rangers fans have a bigger allegiance to England and Celtic fans have an allegiance to the ROI.
'Craig Brown: "I spoke to Bobby Robson, who had Ronaldo at Barcelona. I asked how we stop him and he said: 'You don't, just don't let him get the ball'.
"Most of his passes came from Cafu at right-back, so I told Christian Dailly: 'If you let Cafu cross the halfway line and pass to Ronaldo, you'll be sitting beside me on the bench'.'
