UEFA have revealed that Scotland’s Nations League game against the Czech Republic will go ahead as planned on Monday.

Shortly after defeating Slovakia, the Czech camp announced their players would now go their separate ways due to an outbreak of the disease among their squad.

Scotland were due to travel to Olomouc on Sunday after opening their Nations League campaign with a 1-1 draw with Israel in their first international clash since football’s three-month hiatus during the pandemic.
