Soccer: Scottish Cup final moved behind closed doors due to COVID-19
(Reuters) - The Scottish Cup final between St Johnstone and Hibernian, which was originally scheduled to have 600 fans, has been moved behind closed doors due to COVID-19 curbs in Glasgow, organisers said.
The Scottish government said on Friday that Glasgow would stay under level 3 restrictions for at least another week because of a rise in coronavirus infections.
"The Scottish government have subsequently confirmed that fans will now not be permitted to attend the Scottish Cup Final," organisers said in a statement.
The final is set to be played on May 22 at Hampden Park.
