Should Scottish schools get a day off for the World Cup?

For the first time since 1998, Scotland will be heading to this summer's Fifa World Cup, which takes place in the US, Canada and Mexico.

As a result, the Scottish government has called on local authorities - who are responsible for school holidays - to be as flexible as possible when it comes to days off for children wanting to watch Scotland's group matches.

It follows First Minister John Swinney's proposal for a bank holiday, the day after the team's first match against Haiti, which will be played at 2am UK time.

Newsround spoke to some children in Dumfries to get their thoughts on the possibility of having a day off school after a late night of watching the football.
