The Tartan Army have been in good spirits ahead of their flights to the continent.
Reports online have claimed that airport bars have run out of booze early in the morning.
One claim suggested that Glasgow Airport had now more Tennent Caledonian.
Another claimed that Aberdeen Airport had to change kegs at 5am.
It is not just in Scotland that the nation’s fans have been making themselves known.
Many flying from Manchester Airport have also been enjoying themselves.
The pub at the airport ran out of both Mahou and San Miguel at 10.33am.
Fans have reacted to the news on social media.
One posted: “Never been so proud.”
A second commented: “Unbelievable. Some achievement that.”
A third wrote: “Tell me that Scotland are heading to the Euros without telling me that Scotland are heading to the Euros!”
A fourth joked: “A moment of silence for the cabin crew.”
A fifth said: “Makes you proud to be Scottish.”
Another added: “Scottish heritage.”
Fans in Munich already have reportedly been drinking pubs dry too.
Scotland face Germany on Friday evening at the Allianz Arena in the Euro 2024 curtain raiser.

Scotland Euro 2024 guide
QUALIFYING for back-to-back Euros is an achievement in itself and the Tartan Army are sure to make the most of it.
The Scots recorded a famous 2-0 win over Spain in qualifying, but come into the Euros off the back of seven games without a win.
MANAGER: Steve Clarke
Only Jock Stein, Andy Roxburgh and Craig Brown have managed Scotland in more games than Jose Mourinho’s former assistant.
STAR MAN: John McGinn
The Aston Villa star has reached new levels under Unai Emery’s tutelage and is crucial to a midfield that provides most of Scotland’s goals.
How Scotland attack
Scotland’s three-man midfield will be crucial with the likes of McGinn and Scott McTominay providing lung-busting runs and coming up with most of the goals.
Target man Lyndon Dykes is set to be a big miss with Che Adams likely to step in as the lone striker in a 5-4-1 formation.
How Scotland defend
Scotland will put ten men behind the ball in a deep 5-4-1 block out of possession.
They will work extremely hard to deny the opposition central spaces between the lines, forcing them to resort to wide play and crosses which the Scots feel more comfortable defending.
