Bayer Leverkusen in front of a packed Ibrox may have led to an increase in coronavirus cases according to new figures. The match was the last played in front of fans in Scotland before the shutdown, with Steven Gerrard 's side beaten 3-1 by their German opponents.
Many other Europa League last 16 ties on March 12 were played behind closed doors, with Sevilla vs Roma and Inter vs Getafe postponed due to the threat of the virus.
However, the UK government did not impose a ban on sporting events until the following week and the SPFL's decision to suspend football across Scotland came the following day.
