The Euro 2025 qualifier is being held behind closed doors.
Kick-off in Scotland’s clash with Israel was delayed for just over 30 minutes after a member of the public breached Hampden security and chained themselves to a goalpost while pro-Palestinian protests were taking place outside the stadium.
With hundreds gathered outside with Palestine flags, it emerged just before the scheduled kick-off time of 7.05pm that somebody had managed to access the arena and lock themselves to a goalpost.The protester, who was wearing a ‘Red Card For Israel’ t-shirt, was eventually removed and the situation brought under control by the authorities before the players emerged for a second warm-up and the game started at 7.36pm.
They also hit out at the SFA’s decision to allow the game to go ahead, describing it as an attempt to “sportwash” Israel.Demonstrators held small replica coffins and spread a banner which read “Ceasefire Now” on the ground outside Hampden.
