Fans will now be required to show proof of vaccination from the Ferencvaros fixture onwards. This is due to be played at 15:30 on Tuesday the 19th of October.
After a compromise between the government and the SFA last week, not all fans will be required to show proof upon entry, instead, random spot checks will be carried out.
