Scotland Women's Euro 2025 qualifier against Israel was delayed after a protester chained himself to one of the goal posts.

The match was scheduled to be played behind closed doors due to safety concerns about protests.

But a protester was able to get through security at Hampden Park and chain themselves to the goal post.

The incident delayed kick-off for the game, which was scheduled to start at 7.05pm.

The SFA said previously: “Due to updated intelligence and following extensive security consultations with all key parties, the Scottish FA regrets to confirm that the forthcoming qualifier between Scotland and Israel at Hampden Park on May 31 will now be played behind closed doors.

“The stadium operations team were alerted to the potential for planned disruptions to the match and as a consequence we have no option but to play the match without supporters in attendance.”
