Coronavirus Level 0 in Scotland

[hmac]

The Scottish Government should be explaining why they are imposing two metre social distancing
in this season’s Scottish Cup Final between Hibs and St Johnstone resulting in only 600 fans being able to
attend the match yet one and a half metre social distancing is in place for the Euros resulting in 12,000 spectators being able to attend.
It would have been interesting to know which social distancing rules would have been in place for the season’s Scottish Cup Final
if Rangers or Celtic had been in the final.

Current rules allow for 500 spectators at outdoor sporting events, but in all cases you can apply for more and work with local councils on a plan to allow more.

By the time of the final Hampden will have been handed over to UEFA control for pre Euro works mrs img only the south stand is available at all.

This has been known for a while and Aberdeen even offered Pittodrie so a bigger crowd could be accommodated.

The SFA and both clubs are currently still working with the government, UEFA and Glasgow Council to find a way to get more fans in and both clubs still pushing for 1,000 tickets each.
