Some lucky Scotland fans could be given a 'new bank holiday' if one thing happens in their final Euro 2024 group stage match.

On Sunday Scotland will take on Hungary in Stuttgart knowing that a win will almost certainly secure them a place in the last-16 as one of the best third-placed finishers.

Scotland's Euro 2024 campaign started in disastrous fashion a week ago when they lost 5-1 to Germany in the opening game of the tournament.

Steve Clarke's side dusted themselves down and claimed a 1-1 draw with Switzerland on Wednesday, although they very nearly won the game late on.

So, it all goes down to Sunday's game in Stuttgart.

Hungary are currently bottom of Group A with zero points from two games, putting Scotland in the unfamiliar position of being the favourites to take all three points.

Scotland will be well supported by the travelling Tartan Army, and there will be millions of Scots watching back home.

There could be some sore heads on Monday morning if Scotland qualify for the knockout stages of a major tournament for the first time ever.

However, one employer has taken steps to reward their employees should Scotland get the job done.

One Scotland fan shared on X a photo of a sign pinned up in their workplace.

The side read: "If Scotland win on Sunday 23 June you have permission to start work two hours later than your usual start time on Monday 24 June."

Not only that, but the sign continued: "If Scotland win by three or more goals you have permission to take Monday 24 June off."

So if Clarke's side beat Hungary by three or more goals and book their place in the last-16 in style, then some lucky Scottish fans will effectively be granted an extra bank holiday.
