Scotland men’s national football team

Early day motion 1029, tabled 29 March 2023 by Gavin Newlands (Scottish National Party). Signed by 49 members.

That this House congratulates the Scotland men’s national team’s 2-0 victory over Spain in their UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying fixture; applauds Scott McTominay on his two goals to secure all three points; acknowledges that the victory made it two wins from two games and that Scotland sit atop the group table; notes that the result marks the first defeat Spain have encountered in European Championship qualifying since 2014; regrets that coverage of the men’s national team and their success requires a paid subscription to view while games featuring the Wales and England men’s national teams are available free-to-air for all to watch and be inspired by; and welcomes any moves which may result in live coverage of Scotland men’s game being made available to supporters regardless of their ability to pay.

Signatures by party: Scottish National Party 43, Plaid Cymru 3, Conservative 1, DUP 1, Independent 1.
