Uefa has apologised after videos of Scotland fans celebrating the team qualifying for the World Cup were removed from social media.
The Scottish Football Supporters Association (SFSA) received emails from the European football governing body stating it had shared footage showing TV coverage of the Scotland v Denmark game on X without permission.
Posts shared by the SFSA showed fans across the country celebrating Tuesday 's match, where Scotland secured a World Cup spot for the first time since 1998.
Uefa said many videos were "wrongly picked up by content protection agencies" and taken down due to copyright infringement. The SFSA's account was also blocked…
…Following the criticism, Uefa backtracked on the removals and issued an apology.
It said steps were being taken to withdraw the copyright notices so that the videos can be reinstated by the social media platforms.
A spokesperson said: "Uefa has a robust and extensive content protection programme in place to combat the unauthorised distribution of its content.
"In this instance, it appears that the relevant content was wrongly picked up by our content protection agencies.
"We apologise for the inconvenience this has caused and thank you for your understanding.
