Shock moment Scotland fans fight amongst themselves as Hampden brawl erupts
SHOCK images show Scotland fans trading blows at Hampden last night as tempers frayed during the Nations League clash with Poland.
Footage from the 3-2 defeat at Hampden which was widely shared on social media shows fans involved in the fracas, with punches being thrown while two grown men wrestle in the stands.
While other fans located in the area look on aghast, one fan ends up half naked with his jumper dragged over his head, while his assailant ends up on all fours on the stairway.
Another supporter in the same row is flattened by a couple of punches as stewards and fellow fans attempt to restore calm.
It’s unclear what exactly triggered the bust-up although it’s thought the ugly scenes were believed to have occurred at half time during the Hampden showdown.
Scotland were trailing 2-0 at that point, with tempers likely to be running high despite what was generally a decent showing from the national team.
