JOHN Swinney is set to pause campaigning in the General Election in order to fly to Germany for Scotland’s opening match in the Euros.When asked by the Scottish Sun if he would be attending the game, the First Minister confirmed that he would be in Munich cheering on Steve Clarke’s side.
It comes after he was asked by ITV News presenter Anushka Asthana if he would be supporting England in the Euros “when Scotland is not playing”.“It’s my hobby to go and watch Scotland play,” he said.“Like thousands of fans, I was counting down the days to watch our team play in the Euros and I’d be lying if I said I wasn’t gutted to have to cancel,” he said.When asked if he would be supporting England in the Euros, Sarwar said it would be “not a bad thing” if “the team next door does well”.
