Sturgeon said: "I want to be in a position to go to Wembley in June and cheer on Scotland.
"I can't give a cast iron guarantee. I hope we can be in a position to do that and to come away from Wembley felling positive and upbeat as well."
Professor Jason Leitch, National Clinical Director noted that the end date for lockdown in England was three days after the match.
However he said: "I hope crowds will be allowed and travel will be allowed. I look forward to going to that game but only if it's safe for us to do it."
Why are you making commenting on The Herald only available to subscribers?
It should have been a safe space for informed debate, somewhere for readers to discuss issues around the biggest stories of the day, but all too often the below the line comments on most websites have become bogged down by off-topic discussions and abuse.
heraldscotland.com is tackling this problem by allowing only subscribers to comment.
We are doing this to improve the experience for our loyal readers and we believe it will reduce the ability of trolls and troublemakers, who occasionally find their way onto our site, to abuse our journalists and readers. We also hope it will help the comments section fulfil its promise as a part of Scotland's conversation with itself.
We are lucky at The Herald. We are read by an informed, educated readership who can add their knowledge and insights to our stories.
That is invaluable.
We are making the subscriber-only change to support our valued readers, who tell us they don't want the site cluttered up with irrelevant comments, untruths and abuse.
In the past, the journalist’s job was to collect and distribute information to the audience. Technology means that readers can shape a discussion. We look forward to hearing from you on heraldscotland.com
