Exclusive: Ian Murray has written to the UK and Scottish Government's and has launched a petition to stop the plans from happening
Scottish football fans will have a chance to express their anger about the "draconian" plans to restrict supporters' buses after a Scottish MP launched a campaign to stop the measures from going ahead.
Murray has asked Tory Scotland Secretary Alister Jack and SNP Transport Minister Fiona Hyslop to "immediately stop these draconian and unnecessary proposals and rethink it entirely before going any further." "The reality of these proposals would in effect destroy football supporters’ buses. As we try to meet our net zero obligations, it seems absurd to hinder one of the most common ways of reducing carbon emissions – thousands of people travelling on self-organised buses rather than taking individual car journeys.
Buses would be prevented from stopping anywhere within 10 miles of ground without police permission and would not be allowed to stop at any pub for a beer unless it is sold with a substantial meal. “The consultation itself notes that the majority of football fans are law-abiding and do not cause any disturbances when travelling to or from games, yet these proposals would unfairly affect the vast majority of football fans who travel safely and respectfully to and from matches on a weekly basis.
First Minister Humza Yousaf said: “They have come without any consultation with the Scottish Government, and as far as I can see, the Scottish football clubs.
