Buddies are being urged to boycott the World Cup as one Renfrewshire politician warns there is "nothing beautiful" about Qatar's human rights record.
Paul O’Kane MSP has criticised those attending the World Cup in Qatar due to the country’s “undisputed bad” record on LGBT+ rights – as well the rights of women and migrant workers.
The West Scotland Labour MSP has blasted Scottish Football Association chiefs, president Rod Petrie and chief executive Ian Maxwell for attending the event and said people of influence should not be seen to be condoning the actions of the Qatari authorities.
