Richard Leonard calls on government to get fans back to games safely and quickly
Richard Leonard, leader of the Scottish Labour Party
SCOTTISH Labour leader Richard Leonard has urged the Scottish government to set out a plan to get football fans back in stadiums as soon as safely possible.
With supporters in England allowed back at games played in cities in Tier 2 or below, the Scottish game is yet to set a date for the return of live crowds.
In talks with the Scottish Professional Football League, Leonard and the governing body discussed a similar proposal to the one currently being used in the Premier League and English Football League — a maximum of 2,000 socially distanced fans.
