The Association of Tartan Army Clubs (ATAC) acts on behalf of fans of the Scottish national team, both home and away. We have clubs across the country.
We're aware that all Scottish flag permit applications for flags above the permitted size of 2m x 1.5m have been rejected by
@UEFA
There were around 140 🏴 applications.
This blanket ban for our
@EURO2024
matches is unacceptable are we are progressing via
@FansEurope
Today should have been a day of celebration for the Tartan Army getting their hands on a ticket for the upcoming Euros. The reality is that it has turned in to a shambles.
We are delighted to donate £450 to this fantastic cause

@steviemorris007
has followed
@ScotlandNT
all over the world for many years and served quite a few of these as the club rep for the Tap Shop TA 💙🏴🤍
At this Sunday's game vs Rangers, we'll be raising funds for MND Scotland.
@steviemorris007
follows Hearts home and away. Diagnosed with MND in February, his life expectancy is now just a few months.
This is his story. This is why it matters. ❤️

Brilliant result for

Thank you so much to

for keeping our fans hydrated in the boiling heat 🤝🇸🇯
ATAC reps are in Germany this week, taking part in site visits to Köln, Stuttgart and München, funded by
@FansEurope
and
#KOS
They encouraged us to take part alongside reps from SFA as part of the desire to drive extensive fan engagement for the organisation of the tournament.
ATAC welcomes the SFA position not to play any fixtures against Russia following their invasion of Ukraine. We stand with Ukraine and hope that the invasion of their country ceases immediately for the safety and humanity of the Ukrainian population.
1st quarterly meeting of 2024 this Sunday in the central belt.
We'll be talking about the Euros fan forum we attended in Frankfurt as well as looking ahead to all of this year's matches.
TA clubs interested in joining get in touch with us at info
@associationoftartanarmyclubs

With a friendly match expected to be announced imminently, ATAC call on the match organisers to donate match proceeds (or a sizeable chunk of them) to the Ukrainian DEC fund.
This Sunday, 12th May, we will be presenting our site visit findings to Tartan Army groups. There are a few spaces left so if you would like to send a rep from your group please get in touch via email.
Site visit notes from last month. These will be presented in more detail to TA groups next month by ourselves and SFA. If your group would like to attend then please get in touch through the website.
Many thanks to Cyprus based

fan Davy Provan for all his hard work at the recent

@EURO2020
qualifier, and his amazing donation of over £5000 to the Sunshine Appeal 👏👏👏👏🏴🇨🇾
Looking very like 100% ticket pickup in Chișinău for 🇲🇩 v 🏴 due to late delivery of tickets. We will be asking
@SSCMembers
what ID is acceptable, especially if photocopies of passports are sufficient. Should get more clarity tomorrow.
Really brilliant to meet up with
@SJFC_SLO
and Keith Ferguson, the DAO at
@JamTarts
, tonight. We are keen to improve the disability offering for
@SSCMembers
at Hampden and their knowledge and ideas were second to none. Lots for us to take forward.
Belated photo from the ATAC meeting at Hampden a couple of weeks ago. Great presentation from
@ScottishFA
and good discussion about upcoming ticket distributions and potential friendlies.
Confirmation finally received that there will be a public viewing in Stuttgart for 🏴 v 🇭🇺 This will be at Stadtgarten. We raised this in January when we realised that 🇨🇭 v 🇩🇪 would take precedence at Schlossplatz.
It's come to light that a few SSC members appear to have not been allocated loyalty points for some home matches.
As tickets will be oversubscribed for the play off final once we skelp Israel you should check your points total now. If it isn't correct then contact the SSC.

There is a registration process for musical instruments at all matches and the process for this will be shared by
@SSCMembers
in advance. So fear not,
@ScotlandNT
will be playing matches alongside our many pipers all the way from Munich to Berlin 💪🏴⚽️
We're holding our final quarterly meeting of 2022 in Glasgow next Sunday, 30th October.
If your club is interested in joining ATAC and would like to send a rep along, please get in touch. 🏴⚽️
With multiple upcoming matches against Ukraine , a reminder to our supporters to check your playoff tickets.
TICKETS FROM THE ORIGINAL MATCH REMAIN VALID
Your ticket marked WC PLAYOFF / THURSDAY 24TH MARCH is valid for the match on 1ST JUNE
📣 UEFA & FIFA have confirmed that away fans will be prohibited from attending international friendlies & World Cup Qualifiers in September.
🗣 We are deeply disappointed by this decision & have reiterated our recommendation to apply a match by match approach.
ATAC meeting with
@SSCMembers
and
@ScottishFA
not long finished. Belgium tickets (apart from pickups) getting processed this week . They'll get sent quicker if calls to the SSC are kept to a minimum 👍
ATAC are running a survey to determine the impact yesterday's UEFA decision has had to fans of
@ScotlandNT
Fans will now have flights or hotels booked which now clash or no longer align with new dates.
Could you complete the survey:
Be mindful that the 2 bonus loyalty points (1 for renewing + 1 for 3 campaigns) from the last renewal have now dropped off so max points is currently 30.
2020 bonus points will get added some time after the end of the current renewal window 👍🏴
Some info from
@FansEurope
today.
Several of you will have noticed that the UEFA return portal has opened up. We would recommend you NOT to encourage fans and members to ask for a refund until later this week, where "fuller information" on host city capacities may be known.
Expectation is tickets go on sale post Israel win, on Friday morning and points system is used. 100% pick up over in Oslo or Belgrade. Oslo allocation will be 1350. Belgrade TBC.
We have asked
@SSCMembers
to ensure there are enough turnstiles open for 🏴 fans ahead of our match v 🇳🇱 We've also asked for clarity on body searches, which contributed to Ireland fans having delayed entry to the Johan Cruyff Arena in November.
ATAC are participating in the
