Scotland's match against France was delayed this evening.
Kick-off for the international friendly game was pushed back by 10 minutes.
This was due to the speed at which fans have been able to enter the Pierre-Mauroy stadium in Lille.
The official Scotland national team X account posted: "Please note, there will be a 10-minute delay to the kick-off to tonight's match to allow all fans to enter the stadium."
Please note, there will be a ten minute delay to the kick-off to tonight's match to allow all fans to enter the stadium. #FRASCO

It's believed additional security checks were put in place following a suspected terrorist attack in Belgium last night where two football fans were shot dead.

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!
