Scotland has highest per capita crowds in Europe
More people attend top-flight football matches in Scotland than any other country in Europe as a proportion of population, according to a Uefa report.
On average just over 18 people out of every 1,000 attended Scottish Premiership matches last season.
The next highest was Portugal’s Primeira Liga at just over 10 people per 1,000.
The Dutch Eredivisie and England’s Premier League were third and fourth in the rankings contained in Uefa’s European Club Talent and Competition Landscape report.
It also found nearly 3.8 million fans attended top-flight matches in Scotland last season – the eighth highest in the whole of Europe – with the average league attendance of 16,500 the seventh highest on the continent.
