Will the Israeli national team play in Scotland in the Euro 2020 qualifying playoffs without an audience? According to reports in the UK, heads of the Scottish Association are preparing for such a possibility following the spread of the corona virus.

Scotland national coach Steve Clark canceled his trip to the League of Nations draw in Amsterdam this evening for fear that he might be stuck in the Netherlands.

Yesterday, UEFA held emergency talks following the global outbreak of the virus and the European Football Association are determined to have the playoff games this month.

However, as mentioned earlier, Scotland, which should host Israel on March 26 in front of a stadium that is supposed to be full, is worried that it will have to host an empty park in front of Hampden to minimize the chance of the virus spreading.

Concerns were mounting as Scottish Association leaders and Premier League leaders first hinted that the game could be canceled or played without a crowd. This is a direct continuation of the hysteria in Europe surrounding the Corona virus, after the Aryan Games were halted over the weekend following the spread of the virus in Italy, while the Swiss league is suspended for three weeks.

The Glasgow Rangers are following developments ahead of their European league match against Bayer Leverkusen, following the Corona cases that are rapidly multiplying in Germany.

After the first corona patient is diagnosed in Scotland by the Scottish Health System, a new committee is set up that includes Scottish Premier League chief executive Neil Doncaster, Scottish Association chairman Ian Maxwell and Scottish association doctor Dr John McLean to assess whether Scottish League games will continue as usual.

Premier League Scottish general manager Neil Doncaster said: "We are holding talks with our colleagues in England and leagues in Europe to share news and best practices regarding the serious and alarming situation. Currently, there have been no indications that the gaming schedules will be affected, but we are closely monitoring the events and are in contact with the Scottish Government to ensure we are as prepared as possible. We will, together with the Scottish Association, coordinate our response to the challenges posed by the outbreak of the Corona virus in a responsible manner. "
