Red card for
Red card for Israel faced Scotland yesterday in the women’s Euro qualifier. Protesters protested the attack on Palestine at the match at Hampden Park in Glasgow.
Protesters gathered outside the field to hold a rally against Israel. Before the start of the match,
about 400 supporters gathered in front of the main gate of the stadium with small coffins and Palestinian flags.
At this time, a protester broke through the security zone and entered the field. That’s why the match started a bit late.
The protester, dressed in black, entered the field and locked himself with the goal post. His t-shirt read a message, ‘Red card to Israel’.
The protester was wearing a ‘high-vis vest’ before entering the field, leading many to mistake him for a field steward. Police and other stadium staff separated the protester from the goal post.
