Scotland vs Georgia suspended after seven minutes due to waterlogged pitch before resuming nearly two hours later | Football News


Scotland’s match against Georgia in the Euro 2024 qualifier was temporarily suspended after seven minutes of play due to heavy rainfall. The poor conditions started around half an hour before kick-off at Hampden Park. At the time of the suspension, Scotland was leading 1-0 through Callum McGregor’s goal, which was heavily assisted by the waterlogged pitch. The game eventually resumed at 9:35 pm, one hour and 40 minutes after it initially kicked off. Scotland went on to win the match 2-0, with Scott McTominay scoring a second goal. The delay caused confusion as Georgia’s players initially refused to resume the game, but eventually came back onto the pitch. Scotland manager Steve Clarke praised the fans, staff, and players for their patience and resilience during the unusual circumstances.
