Scottish sports journalist Kevin McCarra has been found safe after going missing in Avignon, France, while visiting the country to watch games at Euro 2016.

His wife Susan Stewart confirmed he was safe after earlier issuing pleas on Twitter for any information regarding his whereabouts, stating that they had originally planned to take in the Iceland Hungary game at the Stade Velodrome on Saturday evening.

Glasgow-born McCarra is the former chief football correspondent for the Guardian newspaper, having previously worked at the Scotland on Sunday, The Times and Sunday Times.
