Scots refute Neymar claims

Scotland fans and the Scottish Football Association have refuted claims by Brazil star Neymar that he was abused by the Tartan Army in the countries’ friendly at the Emirates Stadium.

A banana was thrown onto the field during Brazil’s 2-0 victory over the Scots yesterday, while Neymar accused some spectators of racist behaviour – a claim repeated by team-mate Lucas Leiva, who retrieved the banana.
