When Scotland tickets for Euro 2024 will go on sale after SFA’s botched job sent fans into a rage

Red faced Hampden bosses hope to relaunch the big sale of gold dust Euro 2024 tickets to the Tartan Army at 12 o’clock on Thursday after botching today’s planned release.

Fans were expecting to join the mass scramble for seats at Group A games against Germany, Switzerland and Hungary at midday on Wednesday, when the SFA were supposed to open the process to thousands of eligible Scotland Supporters club members.

Record Sport now understands plans are hurriedly being put in place to start the ticket rush at 12pm on Thursday – 24 hours later than anticipated.

In the email it states that Scotland will take on Germany on Saturday June 14 - when, in fact, the game is on Friday 14. And it doubles down on that error by stating that Steve Clarke’s side will finish off the group stages against Hungary in Stuttgart on Friday June 23 - when that crucial showdown will take place on Sunday June 23.

Astonished fans reacted by branding the entire process as a shambles as the SFA urgently contacted UEFA to help resolve the matter. The statement read: “Ticket sale delayed.
