Scotland on its knees with the English, Sturgeon applauds

Scotland's national team will continue to take a stand against racism by staying on their feet, but in the European football match in London against England they will get down on their knees, as will their opponents.

The decision, explained coach Steve Clarke, was made by Scottish coaching staff and footballers, after "some have tried to politicize or misrepresent the choice to stand up against racism and all forms of discriminatory behavior in our European matches and, in particular, for the one at Wembley ".

    A move that has received the acclaim of the Scottish Prime Minister, Nicola Sturgeon: "Friday at Wembley from kick-off Scotland and England will be the fiercest opponents. But before that, the players will join together in solidarity against racism. Excellent decision. , well done Scotland! ".

    The captain of Scotland, Andy Robertson also expressed himself on the issue: "Given the episodes surrounding the English national team, getting on your knees counts as a gesture of solidarity".

    Before all the other matches, the Scots will continue to speak out against racism by remaining standing, as has happened - recalled the coach - "since the first qualifying match for the World Cup, in coordination with Scottish football clubs, including Rangers and Celtic ".
