TAKEN FROM THE DAILY RANGER

FRENCH football bosses face a security nightmare after the Tartan Army invaded their Euro 2008 ticket sales.

The French Federation's website crashed under the strain yesterday morning as Scotland supporters rushed to secure briefs for the Parc des Princes crunch on September 12.

The SFA were given only 3500 tickets at prices of up to £82 to distribute to visiting fans through the official Travel Club.

But it's now estimated there could be up to 15,000 Scots in the ground after tickets for the French end were made freely available online, without restrictions.

A spokeswoman for the French Federation admitted they were unlikely to turn away Scots fans who had booked online, with many ordering up to six tickets each.

Asked if they would be allowed entry, she said: "I guess so - we've had no problems before."

I honestly couldn't believe how easy it was to get 8 tickets, in the home end. I've always wondered what it feels like to be a Rangers or Celtic fan living in Aberdeen or Inverness.... Now i have a slight inclination
