World Cup Bank Holiday: Which of Scotland's 32 councils are - and aren't - taking the extra day off and will they let pubs open late?

The majority of council are opting not to take the World Cup bank holiday off - but most will let pubs open for Scotland’s matches.

First Minister John Swinney may have announced that the day after Scotland’s first World Cup game against Haiti would be a designated bank holiday - but it seems many council leaders don’t agree,

The extra day off on Monday, June 15, has been approved by the King to allow the Tartan Army to celebrate - or console themselves -without worrying about work the next day.

It means that public sector employees who come under the authority of the Scottish Government will be guaranteed the day off, but it is up to individual employers - including local authorities - to decide whether they should follow suit.

Meanwhile councils are deciding whether to let pubs open into the small hours to allow fans to enjoy the game over a pint.

Here’s what all 32 of Scotland’s councils have decided so far. We’ll update all the details as they come in,
