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.”
Why are you making commenting on The National only available to subscribers?
We know there are thousands of National readers who want to debate, argue and go back and forth in the comments section of our stories. We’ve got the most informed readers in Scotland, asking each other the big questions about the future of our country.
Unfortunately, though, these important debates are being spoiled by a vocal minority of trolls who aren’t really interested in the issues, try to derail the conversations, register under fake names, and post vile abuse.
So that’s why we’ve decided to make the ability to comment only available to our paying subscribers. That way, all the trolls who post abuse on our website will have to pay if they want to join the debate – and risk a permanent ban from the account that they subscribe with.
The conversation will go back to what it should be about – people who care passionately about the issues, but disagree constructively on what we should do about them. Let’s get that debate started!
