A 24-year-old man has been charged after staging an on-field protest before the Women's Euro 2025 qualifier between Scotland and Israel at Hampden Stadium in Glasgow.

The protester was escorted away by police after chaining himself to the goalposts on Thursday evening.

The match, played behind closed doors, faced a 45-minute delay amid protests outside the stadium against Israel's military operations in Gaza.

The Israeli team held a T-shirt with the message 'Bring Them Home' referencing hostages taken by Hamas.

Scotland won the game 4-1.

The arrested man will be reported to the procurator fiscal, according to Police Scotland.
