The match against Israel was played behind closed doors after intelligence suggested protesters were planning disruptions.
The start of Scotland's women's Euro 2025 qualifier against Israel was delayed after a protester chained himself to one of the goalposts at Hampden Park. With hundreds gathered outside with Palestinian flags, the anti-Israel protester got on to the pitch at the Glasgow stadium prior to the women's teams' pre-match anthems.
Both teams returned to the dressing rooms during the disruption and emerged for a second warm-up and kick-off once the protester had been removed. Campaigners and charities including Show Israel the Red Card and Scottish Friends of Palestine held protests outside the ground, where they called for an immediate ceasefire and held small replica coffins.
