SPOT CHECKS could be used to check the vaccine passports of football fans, Scotland’s health secretary said on Monday.

Humza Yousaf said the Scottish government is happy to engage with the Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL) and that spot checks are one of the options they are “absolutely” happy to consider.

It comes after SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster said the organisation is “concerned” about the practicalities of delivering the scheme and said spot-checking is the only way it can be done.
