Moment Scotland Euros fan strips naked & jumps into German river leaving pals in stitches

THIS is the bizarre moment a Scotland Euros fan stripped off and jumped naked into Germany’s most famous river.

The fan shocked pals as the Tartan Army supporter dropped his trousers to his ankles before braving the icy waters of the Rhine which flows through city of Cologne.

The skinny dipper stripped down to just his trainer socks and his watch and plunged into the river hours before the nerve-shredding 1-1 draw with Switzerland that kept Scotland in the Euros.

He wore only a smile after he surfaced following the shock dive.

Footage shows a group of fellow Scots relaxing by the waterfront with the city’s famous Hohenzollern bridge as the backdrop.

With one hand covering his modesty, the lad races towards the water before vaulting over the barrier, throwing himself into the air.

He causes a splash before he submerges under the water.

The fan is later seen swimming against the river’s strong current as he attempts to exit the river and escape the cold water.

He pulls himself out of the water, still covering his private parts with one hand.

His pals are heard laughing and howling, while those speaking German sound baffled by the bizarre stunt.

The clip was shared to social media last night with the caption: “#scotland #euros #cologne #chaos”

The video was popular by Scotland fans and received over 7.3k likes and over 4.8million views on X.

One commented: “Let me guess the guy lost a bet?”

Another said: “Scottish man doing what he wants to do.”

A third added: “the video was a bit to short to see how cold it was.”

Another replied: “Lighten up everybody, I bet he does that every Saturday, jumping into the River Clyde back home.”

A fifth commented: “I love me some Scots, but please be careful in our city.

“The Rhine has a very strong current and there is ship movement nearly all day.

“Don’t want one of you guys going missing.”
