Sore-headed Scots drunk away the Tartan Army’s German drubbing in another night of debauchery in party hotspot Magaluf.
Hundreds of Scottish footie fanatics downed their sorrows in the hedonistic resort after Steve Clarke’s underwhelming side were thumped 5-1.
Scenes of drunken carnage erupted in the streets of Majorca last night as holidaymakers partied until dawn – with some unable to last the pace collapsing on sun loungers.
Groups of young women cheered as a woman in a Scotland jersey performed ‘the worm’ dance move as the smell of cannabis lingered in the air.
And young men put aside their Euro 2024 agony to flirt with their female counterparts – or file into £3 entry strip clubs.
Eyeing up a young blonde, scantily-clad in a figure-hugging pink ensemble, Kyle Bishop, 20, from Glasgow, said: ‘Scotland’s strikers couldn’t score – but I’m going to.

‘Magaluf is insane. I’m going hard until dawn – then it’s breakfast and after that I’m getting back on it.’
At the Enigma Red tattoo parlour, a gang of mates from Shotts, near Glasgow, queued up for €40-a-go inkings.
Emily Skilling, 18, opted for her boyfriend’s initials on her finger – despite the pair only dating for four months.
She said: ‘I’d like to think it’s going to last.’
Showing off the word ‘angel’ on her hip and a love heart on her flank, she added: ‘I’ve been here two nights and got three tattoos. Magaluf is amazing!’
Pal Ellie McSeveney, 17, forked out for her first tattoo – an infinity sign. She is unable to get one in the UK where the legal age is 18.
She said: ‘Mum won’t let me get my boyfriend’s initials. I’m raging with her because we’ve been together for three years. But she’s threatened not to pay for my motor insurance.’
Asked how she was feeling, Ellie said: ‘I’m alright. I’m too drunk to feel anything.’
Revellers at the party town didn’t let the game’s result draw the evening to a close as they fought on to keep the drinking going

Another showed off her artwork – the initialism CBDC inked onto her left buttock. ‘It stands for Cow Boys Don’t Care – because they just don’t care,’ she says, unable to explain precisely what the phrase means.
Yards away, a worse-for-wear reveller lies prone in the road, surrounded by five police officers.
His sorry plight is overlooked by the buzzy club reps moving between them pestering passers-by into the facing strip club. ‘Three euros in, two euros a beer – come on, I’ll take you in. If you want, you leave,’ she crows.
Down by the beach, Scotland fans clamber on boats tied up at the shoreline as party-goer takes the opportunity to relieve himself in the sea.

Scots came out in force in Magaluf to converge on its bars and clubs for the nation’s Euro 2024 opener – including in their kilts.
They donned Scotland shirts and fancy dress, regaling onlookers with renditions of ‘Yes sir I can boogie’ – the cheesy Eurodisco hit adopted by fans.
Others taunted German holidaymakers by chanting: ‘No Scotland, no party.’
But by half-time – with 10-man Scotland 3-0 down – some fans deserted big screens set up in a main square.
As when a fourth went in, one Tartan Army fan slammed down his pint and told pals: ‘F*** this. I’m off to the strippy. I’ve got more chance of scoring than this lot.’
He then scuttled off with his friends in tow along Magaluf’s infamous 600m stretch of clubs, takeaways and tattoo parlours. Others turned their attention from the football instead to playing drinking games and downing shots.
Liam Longstaff, 18, from the Borders, missed Antonio Rudiger’s late own-goal for Scotland after being coerced into buying €5 Jagermeister and Red Bull shots by bar promo workers.
He said: ‘I gave up watching at half time – we’re necking shots instead. I’ve blown £90 but I don’t care. You only live once.

‘And it’s numbing the pain. We’ve been absolutely s***.
‘We got two hours sleep last night and started drinking at 9.30am. The best way to stop a hangover is to keep going. We’re gonna have a mad night out – the result doesn’t matter.’
Adam Campbell, 18, from Inverness, crowed before the match kicked off: ‘If we win, we are drinking until tomorrow afternoon. We are going to be up in space – who knows what’s going to happen.’
But as Arsenal star Kai Havertz netted a penalty which saw Ryan Porteous sent off, he said: ‘I want to go home. It just want to end it now. We are s***.’
Sporting a fresh black eye, Oscar Blackwood, 18, was turfed out of a bar after banging a table with such force that it caused pint glasses to smash on the floor.
He was handed a reprieve after fans jeered his attempted ejection.
Oscar, from Ayr, said: ‘The black eye was from fighting the English in Magaluf. But the Scot won.
‘It doesn’t matter what the result is. We are going to party all night long. I’ll be drinking ’til Sunday.’

At Scottish bar Sinky’s owner Cathy Sinclair said: ‘There’s one table who have got through 22 pints and the game’s not even kicked off yet.
‘What people are going for is Venom – it’s vodka, Southern Comfort, blue WKD and orange juice.
‘There’s been a party atmosphere all day long in here. It’s great to see so many Scotland shirts.’
Sun-seeking Scots and Germans engaged in light-hearted banter, but it was clear which supporters were happier with the result.

Magaluf is bracing itself for boozy England fans flooding to Mallorca ahead of the blockbuster Euros clash with Serbia on Sunday.

A spokesman for Calvia Council, responsible for one of two forces responsible policing in Magaluf, said: ‘Local police will intensify their efforts to guarantee the safety of tourists and residents the days of key matches, such as those that involve teams like England.’
Thousands of England fans on holiday on the party island are set to descend on The Square, near to the infamous strip, where huge broadcast screens have been installed.
The spokesman said: ‘We have established strict regulations for the installation of TV screens inside and outside public establishments.
‘Those regulations include the obligation to obtain a licence to initiate and exercise activity, as well as the obligation to present documentation on the sound level limiter, if applicable.’
The council spokesman added: ‘Those responsible for establishments with open-air areas have an obligation to adequately manage the noise levels while they’re open for business.
‘Screens and TVs should be facing the inside of those establishments to avoid crowding in public spaces that can interfere with pedestrian and other traffic.’
