Scotland will join England in taking a knee at Wembley but take a stand against racism in their home group matches at Euro 2020
"I am aware that some individuals and groups have sought to politicise or misrepresent the Scotland national team position on taking a stand against racism and all forms of discriminatory behaviour in our Uefa Euro 2020 matches and, in particular, for our visit to Wembley.
"We do so to raise awareness of the ongoing problem but also as a reminder to those who have the ultimate power and responsibility to implement meaningful change. England will take a knee before all of their matches, the gesture that was largely used before domestic matches north and south of the border last season.And Scotland captain Andy Robertson, who plays his club football at Liverpool, commented: "Our stance is that everyone, players, fans, teams, clubs, federations, governing bodies and governments must do more. Meaningful action is needed if meaningful change is to occur.
Downing Street said on Friday fans should not boo players who take the knee following some supporters jeering England players who made the gesture in two recent warm-up matches.Scottish FA equality adviser & Livingston player Marvin Bartley
