A BOOZED-UP Tartan Army caused chaos in Trafalgar Square before clashing with English fans at Wembley.

Scotland fans flooded the capital earlier before tonight's showdown against England - following the match supporters were left bloodied as punches were thrown.

One Scot needed attention as a medic and policeman both tended to him by the landmark.

'Donald Trump' and the rest of the travelling support are pictured flashing their privates, setting off flares and taking a dip in Trafalgar's fountain.

OK, so it wasn't the real President-elect with Hillary Clinton around his waist, but still the kilt-wearing supporter was one of many to land in the capital before the World Cup qualifier at Wembley.

Thousands of fans from north of the border packed bars and landmarks Trafalgar Square and Covent Garden in the autumn sunshine.

They even brought an Iceland flag to taunt the hosts after England's Euro 2016 exit at the hands of the minnows - and one wore a Maradona mask.

And not even the chilly 11 degrees Celsius temperate put off the hardy travellers from wearing the traditional Scottish attire.
