Police also tweeted a picture of a smiling Scotland fan with their arm around a police officer outside the Allianz Arena in Munich.
It comes after more than 200,000 Scotland fans were in the Bavarian city for Scotland’s opening match against Germany.
Fans have now started heading to Cologne, where Scotland is set to play Switzerland on Wednesday evening in the team’s second match in the group stage.

One Germany fan thanked the Tartan Army for creating “a very relaxed and happy atmosphere” whilst in Munich.
Another said they hoped Scotland will stay in the tournament for a while, as the team’s fans are “people of honour”.
And another: “Scottish fans, please stay here, we like you.”
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!
