FIFA has fined the Scottish Football Association £4,000 after the Tartan Army booed the England national anthem in the World Cup Qualifier at Hampden Park in June.

It is the second time in less than a year the SFA has been punished by the game's governing body for 'improper conduct' of supporters.

The SFA was fined almost £16,000 in November for fans booing the national anthem and Scotland players displaying poppies at the 'away' qualifier at Wembley on Armistice Day last year.
