After Scotland's 1-0 win over Greece, fans found themselves stranded in Athens due to a fire at London's Heathrow Airport that grounded flights. With British Airways services from various Scottish cities disrupted, supporters have had to seek alternative routes home through cities like Dublin, Milan, and Istanbul. Despite the inconvenience, many fans, including those from Aberdeen, remain upbeat, suggesting they'd celebrate their team's victory if unable to return immediately. Communication remains key as passengers are advised to check with airlines for updates amid the ongoing situation.
Gavin Keith and Edith Stewart, fans stranded in Athens, expressed good spirits despite flight cancellations, saying they might stay for a celebration if flights are delayed.
BBC journalist Thomas Mackintosh shared how fans are exploring creative travel routes due to the Heathrow closure, highlighting the inconvenience but also the helpfulness of Greek authorities.
