Craig Napier and Lloyd Wilson have become the first active Scottish male referees to publicly come out as gay.
Their respective announcements come just two-and-a-half weeks after Blackpool forward Jake Daniels became the first active British male footballer to publicly come out as gay since Justin Fashanu in 1990. The 17-year-old was applauded for his bravery by several high-profile figures including Prince William and Harry Kane.
Napier, 32, referees in the Scottish Premiership and took charge of 10 top-flight fixtures last season. He's been officiating in the Scottish Professional Football League (SPFL) since the 2015-16 campaign. Wilson, 31, referees in the third and fourth tiers of the SPFL.
