Scotland's papers: Suspect 'boasted' of Madeleine McCann abduction

Many of Friday's newspaper front pages have named and pictured the suspect in the Madeleine McCann case. Because of German privacy law, and the BBC website being accessible in Germany, the BBC has not pictured him.

Many of Friday's papers lead on the new suspect in the Madeleine McCann case. The Scottish Sun claims that police identified the suspect after he told a friend in a pub that he had taken the three-year-old when she went missing in 2007 during a holiday with her family in Portugal.

The i newspaper reports the new details from the German prosecutors, who are treating the case as a murder investigation. It says the suspect in the case has multiple convictions for sexual offences and quotes prosecutors as saying: "We are talking about a predator convicted of crimes against little girls".

The Scottish Daily Mail also pictures the man. However, unlike other front pages, it has two pictures including one of the suspect in a bar. The paper reports that the suspect had been on the police radar for more than two decades and has as many as 17 criminal convictions.

The Daily Telegraph's main story focuses on face masks being deemed compulsory on public transport in England.

It says all passengers using trains, trams, the Tube, ferries, aircraft and buses will need to cover their mouths and nose with a mask, which can be homemade. The paper adds that it comes two months after Transport Secretary Grant Shapps dismissed the idea as "counterproductive".
