Baby Reindeer star Richard Gadd was spotted in the crowd as Scotland took on Switzerland in their second game of the Euros.
After getting thrashed 5-1 by Euro 2024 hosts Germany in the opening Group A game on Friday (14 June), the Tartan Army wanted a reaction - and that's what they got.
They picked up a 1-1 draw against Switzerland last night (19 June) after Scott McTominay’s shot in the 13th minute was deflected in off Fabian Schar.
Swiss legend Xherdan Shaqiri soon equalised in the 26th minute.

“It was what we expected,” said manager Steve Clarke after the game.
However, people at home certainly did not expect to get a glimpse of Scottish comedian Gadd in the crowd, cheering on his national side.
The 35-year-old was among the tens of thousands in the Scotland end in Cologne.
Taking to social media, one viewer said: "Swear I just saw Richard Gadd on the Scotland v Switzerland game?"

"Swear I’ve just seen Richard Gadd in the Scotland end," another added.
A third wrote: "They just showed Richard Gadd in the Scotland end."
As a fourth joked: "Is that you Baby Reindeer?"
Gadd become an overnight sensation after starring as a fictionalised version of himself in, arguably, the most talked-about TV series of the year so far.
The Netflix show follows Gadd's character, Donny Dunn, who gets stalked by a woman named Martha (played by Jessica Gunning).

Since the series aired in April, people have been trying to figure out who Gadd's stalker was in real life, though both legal experts and Gadd himself have been warning fans against doing so.
Sharing a photo of himself at the Euros game, Gadd said: "Yes, it was me. What a game! Proud of the @scotlandnationalteam tonight."

"Christ she’s gonna find you again, take it down," one user joked in the comments, as another added: "I’ve seen more pictures of you tonight on social media than I did of the actual game."
"I was shouting at tv there's Richard Gadd," penned a third.
Someone else said: "I’m glad to see that you are doing good. You deserve a happy normal life ."
Scotland will take on Hungary in their last group game on Sunday (23 June).
