Scotland’s stance will be put in firm focus next Friday when they face England at Wembley. While a multi-racial squad Take The Knee their opponents, 95% of the squad who are white, will stand still with the eyes of Europe and beyond.

The SFA will have Comms Specialist Darryl Dazza Broadfoot to keep the football reporters in line but as the issue spills over into news, politics and social media they may be forced to explain why they are more aligned with Hungary than the majority of western European nations.
