Covid rules obliging Scottish Premiership clubs to check the vaccine status of half the fans in crowds of 1,000 or more have been scrapped after just two weeks.
Nicola Sturgeon gave Scottish sport the green light to return to capacity crowds after Omicron restrictions were lifted last week.
Adding a caveat, however, Scotland’s First Minister stipulated that clubs should carry out mandatory spot checks on at least 50 per cent of the fans attending games for proof of a booster jag or a negative lateral flow test.
