SCOTTISH Tory leader Douglas Ross is due to run the line at tomorrow’s UEFA Nations League game in Luxembourg – but he will not have to quarantine on his return to Scotland.

The Moray MP, who is also a linesman, will travel to Luxembourg after working England’s friendly with Wales at Wembley last night.

Luxembourg is on the Scottish Government’s list of countries from where travellers must quarantine for 14 days upon arrival in Scotland due to its high level of coronavirus infections.

The latest estimates for the country put its coronavirus incidence rate at 88 cases per 100,000 residents.

The Scottish Government allows exemptions for a handful of people, including those working at elite sporting events or travellers engaged in film and TV productions.

As Ross is employed as an assistant for the UEFA Nations League clash he is covered by the exemption for sporting events.

A Scottish Conservative spokesperson said: “Douglas will be fully complying with the Scottish Government guidance on sports people and support workers on specified major sporting events, as a match official supporting the event.”

Ross has officiated at some of Scotland’s biggest games, including the Old Firm and Scottish Cup finals. In December he was added to the FIFA assistant referee list by the Scottish FA.

After becoming Scottish Conservative leader in July, the MP said he would quit his refereeing role if he is elected as first minister next year. He was concerned his presence at matches would be an issue for matchday policing staff.

It is expected that Ross will earn more than £1000 for the work in Luxembourg. At an Iceland v Albania Euro 2020 qualifier in Reykjavik he earned £1406 – and it is thought he earned nearly £2000 for the Bayern Munich v Red Star Belgrade Champions League tie last year.

This is on top of his £81,932 MP salary – which is due to increase by £3360 next year.

Tomorrow's match takes place at the Stade Josy Barthel in Luxembourg and kicks off at 2pm.
