Laurie Findlayson was left segregated from other fans due to a lack of wheelchair space

A disabled football fan has blasted Hampden Park for the 'poor' treatment he received in hospitality at the stadium.

Ahead of buying, Laurie's mum was assured the hospitality area was 'fully accessible' with space for his wheelchair and his dad would have an executive seat. "We were segregated from the other fans despite the fact that we had bought the same package. I don't believe that the area we were in was even a wheelchair area. My view of the pitch was also restricted due to the height of the barrier.

Despite Laurie's mum emailing and calling the stadium to complain, the family received no response until he decided to share his experience on social media.
