SPFL to allow clubs to hold pre-match Paris tributes
Thursday 19 November 2015 21:01, UK
The Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL) say all clubs are welcome to hold their own pre-match tribute to those affected by last Friday's terrorist attacks in Paris this weekend.
A statement from the Premier League on Thursday confirmed the French national anthem will be played before all top flight games in England.
Scottish officials contacted all 42 clubs and advised they, and in particular the sides that did not play last weekend due to the international break, could also pay their respects to the 129 people killed in the attacks.
That could include holding a minute of silence, playing the French national anthem or in another way.
The SPFL said those clubs who wish to do so have their support and advised them to liaise with their match referee and opposition club accordingly.
