Scotland join England in taking the knee for their Euro 2020 match

Nevertheless, in light of the reaction form certain groups of fans over the past few days, the Tartan Army will now show solidarity with their English opponents next Friday. The team will continue to take a stand for the other two group games but this is a heart-warming moment of unity that reminds us we're all fighting for the same thing: equality.

The decision to stand was initially in response to the high-profile racial incident involving Rangers midfielder, Glen Kamara, and Czech player Ondrej Kudela during a Europa League match on March 18th at the Ibrox.

Following that incident, Rangers and Celtic players stood in opposition to racism at the Old Firm - a gesture repeated by Scotland's players the following week. West Ham player, Tomas Soucek, has since come out to say that he does not believe Kudela said anything racist to Kamara, as well as suggesting that Britain is too "sensitive" when it comes to racism.

England's players have said they will continue to "take a knee" throughout Euro 2020, despite being booed by some supporters at the recent warmup friendlies.
