Extra police will be on patrol across Ayrshire tonight to ensure everyone is kept safe and following guidance as Scotland take on England at Wembley.

Officers will be focused on patrols of towns and villages, and whilst doing so will visit licensed premises to ensure that everyone continues to follow the current Covid guidelines and enjoys their evening safely.

The big match kicks off at 8pm and is live on STV.

Chief Inspector Brian Anderson, who will oversee tonight’s policing operation, said: “I am asking people to continue to stay safe, be kind to each other and enjoy yourselves responsibly.

"The current Covid restriction remain in place to protect local communities and I would ask people to continue to take personal responsibility to protect themselves and others. Supporting the national team can still be done within the current COVID-19 restrictions.

"If you are out and about tonight please follow the advice of licensed premises staff and stewards and seek assistance from local officers on patrol if need be, and if you ask us whilst we are working ‘can you boogie?', there is only going to be one answer!"
