\n\tThe Scottish Football Association, like their counterparts in Wales and Northern Ireland, are against their players competing amid fears over the national team\u2019s independence.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tLennon said, “I haven\u2019t had the chance to speak to the players but Scott Brown, James Forrest and Adam Matthews were sent formal invitations as it were. We will sit down with them over the next few weeks and see what they are thinking. If they want to go I can\u2019t stop them.”<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\tHe added, “It\u2019s the timing of it with the start of the season next year or the (European) qualifiers.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\n\t“My view is that football is not an Olympic sport, although it is a great spectating sport.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
