Several hundred Scotland fans who allegedly purchased black market tickets were refused entry to Saturday night's World Cup qualifier in Holland.

The Royal Netherlands Football Association (KNVB) said it had blocked more than 800 tickets for the match at the Amsterdam Arena.

KNVB director Bert van Oostveen said: "The KNVB wants the matches of the Dutch national team to be accessible and remain accessible to a large audience.

"The contemptible practices of ticket touts, who buy up these tickets in bulk and sell them on for extortionate prices, means that a proportion of our supporters are in danger of not being able to buy tickets.

"It is a drastic measure that we are now taking but we really cannot tolerate the situation any longer."
