FOOTBALL: The Scottish Football Association have apologised on behalf of fans who booed the Liechtenstein national anthem before their European Championship qualifier at Hampden Park.

A section of the crowd jeered the anthem, which has the same tune as God Save The Queen, before their last-gasp 2-1 in on Tuesday night.

SFA acting chief executive George Peat said he was “embarrassed” by the reaction and added: “I apologise unreservedly to our visitors for the crass reaction to their anthem.”
