Scottish fans eager to catch the national football team play against Mexico had a mixed reaction to its kick-off time.
A six-hour time difference between the UK and Mexico City meant that fans had to wait until 1am on Sunday to watch the friendly match.
Wait til I tell Fiona we're watching the Scotland game at 1am, going to go down like a lead balloon 🌚

Some were accustomed to being up at that time, therefore the early hours start was not an issue.
Scotland game starting at 1am seems to be an issue for a lot of people apart from the wrestling fans amongst us. #scomex

In fact, for some it seemed to coincide rather conveniently with the end of a night out.

Others were simply there for a good time.
Haven't bothered to watch a Scotland match in years but the sheer novelty of the 1am Saturday night kick-off has me sitting up for #MEXSCO.

But for one user, the anguish and subsequent loss was too much to bear.

Sadly, the match did not end in glory, as it finished in a 1-0 defeat to Mexico.
Scottish national football commentary vs Mexico (in a friendly); "Could be worse…we could be getting beat by 3 or 4. You don't want to be getting a real do-in, cause that effects players confidence." Scotland's ever optimistic tongue

Actually felt heartened after Scotland’s second half in Mexico. Taking everything into consideration, thought it was creditable. We’ve been outclassed in two games but a makeshift, reduced squad has given everything. There are positives.

Sweating buckets at 1am watching Mexico run rings around Scotland.
Why do we do it to ourselves #ScotlandInMexico

The game at the Azteca stadium concluded Scotland’s mini tour around south America, which also saw the team lose 2-0 in their match against Peru on Wednesday.
