Thousands of Scotland fans have descended onto the city ahead of our match with Switzerland on Wednesday night.
Scotland fans have taken shelter in pubs across Cologne after a storm warning shut down the city's fan zone.
Some who had arrived early in the city were left disappointed, but they didn't let the rain dampen their spirit as they piled into the Alter Markt boozers. Steven Forbes, a plumber from Aberdeen, was sitting outside the Corkonian Irish pub waiting for it to open at 12pm. "We were hoping to sit in the beer garden but I don't think that's going to happen. We're just going to batten down the hatches and drink beer all day. I was lucky enough to get tickets for all three games.
"We're a bit disappointed it had to close due to the weather but we're just going to find a pub to watch the game inside. At least we will get the fan zones tomorrow for the most important games. I think we've got a chance tomorrow. We're really hoping for a win." The 39-year old said: "We've just been enjoying the pubs in the market here. The atmosphere has been absolutely amazing. We've not really needed to go into the fan zone because we've had the bagpipes and everybody singing here. It's just been electric.
Oban said: "We've just arrived off the 6am flight from Edinburgh to Frankfurt this morning. It's a bit gloomy but we're hoping Scotland can brighten up the city. We've not been letting the weather affect us. We've been in the pub all day having a great time and we're going to the Open Goal event later. We've got tickets for tomorrow. After yesterday it's hard to be optimistic but I fancy we can get a draw and take it to the last game.
