Two down, hopefully more than one to go

This trip is hurtling past at what feels like the same speed as the train that is carrying us to Stuttgart.

We're now on day nine in Germany. Cologne train station was bursting with Tartan Army moving on to leg three, with the train so busy some were urged to decant at Frankfurt to get on another.

The support the national team has received so far has been overwhelming. At the foot of the Kolner Dom for the past four days, it's been a sea of navy blue.

I'm also enjoying the renaissance of a few retro tops which have become a staple of the TA wardrbbe in recent years.

We hear a viewing area is being set up in Stuttgart for 25,000 Scots to watch the game on Sunday. On the basis of the last few days, they'll need another couple of those.

Two more sleeps.
