Lone Scotland fan spotted proudly cheering on team at Israel World Cup qualifier

Scotland were represented by a lone fan proudly waving a Saltire at their crucial tie with Israel.

The Tartan Army footsoldier was spotted in the stadium in Tel Aviv tonight after fans were allowed into the stadium for the Israel V Scotland World Cup qualifying fixture.

Wearing a facemask while holding the national flag, the supporter cheered on Steve Clarke's men.

Sadly his efforts failed to inspire the team to victory, although they managed to comeback from a goal down to end the game 1-1.

It’s over a year now since any supporter was allowed into an international match involving the Scottish national side due to COVID-19 restrictions.

The Israelis are the world leading vaccinators, which led to 5,000 supporters being allowed in to last night’s game at the Bloomfield Stadium.

It was reported that 30 per cent of tickets to last night’s game were issued to the country’s health workers.
