The Scottish Premiership Will Allow Fans to the Stadiums

Since football was resumed in the major European leagues, the next challenge that leagues and clubs desperately try to solve is to let the fans go back to the stadiums.

The presence of fans in the stadiums is essential for football; for this reason, the Scottish Premiership and the Scottish government have decided to let the fans return to the stadiums, although in a limited amount.

Only 300 fans of the club that plays at home will be able to enter the stadium. They must comply with strict security protocols and fill out a report at the end of the match. The clubs will carry out raffles among the fans to select those who will enter each game.

The games on Matchday 7 between Aberdeen vs. Kilmarnock and Ross County vs. Celtic will be used to test the measure and determine if it is feasible for it to be implemented for the rest of the league games.

The measure will have some restrictions and will be applied at discretion since, in the cities where there are spikes in infections, fans will not be allowed to enter the stadiums.

The players are very excited to have some fans in the stadium, Celtic captain Scott Brown said: “It’ll just be good having fans back in. It’s crucial we get them back into stadiums and playing in front of them again but this is a little test for us and here’s hoping it works well.

You want to play in front of 60,000 fans and we’ve missed that. It’s hard for us to say no if we’re walking about the street and [fans are] asking for a photo or a chat. But we want things to get back to normal, everybody does, and we need to make sure we’re all doing our bit.”
