Scotland players have not discussed Israel boycottImage source, SNSImage caption, Scotland’s women will play back-to-back qualifiers with Israel in HungaryByClive LindsayBBC Sport ScotlandPublished28 minutes agoScotland’s players have not discussed boycotting their World Cup qualifying double-header against Israel, says midfielder Christy Grimshaw.Both the home and away games between the countries will be played behind closed doors in Hungary after European football governing body Uefa ruled that no matches can be held in Israel for security reasons.
And the Scottish FA explained that the decision to play both matches at a neutral venue was “in line with the other teams in Group B4” and that refusing to play would mean forfeiting the points.
The Football Association of Ireland (FAI) is facing a motion backed by the Irish PFA that could force their men’s team to pull out of Nations League fixtures against Israel later this year.
And asked on Tuesday if not playing had been discussed by the Scotland squad, Grimshaw replied: “Honestly, no.
“We are obviously aware of all the situations with the Irish players as well with Israel.
