Scotland fans meet minute's applause for Queen Elizabeth II with booing in Ukraine clash

A section of the Scotland support booed the minute's applause for Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II on Wednesday night.

Steve Clarke's side strolled to a 3-0 win over Ukraine in UEFA Nations League action on a fine evening for the national team on the park but controversy arose off it ahead of kick-off. A minute's applause took place to mark the passing of The Queen earlier this month and while the majority of Hampden Park joined in, a vocal section met it with booing.

It's not the first incident of this nature after Celtic fans displayed a banner in opposition ahead of their eventual defeat to St Mirren on Sunday while Dundee United fans voiced displeasure away to Rangers. It has brought criticism from fans and pundits as the nation comes to terms with the passing of the long-reigning monarch, who was also a patron of the Scottish Football Association.
