The National Clinical Director for Scotland has cast new doubts over whether the Euro 2020 fanzone will go ahead.
The Scottish Sun reports that thousands of football fans have already booked their tickets for the specially-designed outdoor viewing space in Glasgow Green.
Jason Leitch has insisted that the final decision as to whether it goes ahead is still to be made.
This news comes after the announcement that a section of tickets had to be re-released by organisers following a mix-up in the event's initial sale.

Talking to Radio 4's Today programme the professor said that the final decision on the fanzone had yet to be made and that the inclusion of a beer garden was an area of concern.
He said: "We are having a limited fanzone - perhaps.
"The decision on that has still to happen, with a family friendly picnic area, and a cultural festival and of course a beer garden and that is one of the things we are slightly concerned about.
"But we are doing that inside a pandemic so we need to do it carefully."
Mr Leitch is urging those attending the event to get tested before and after.
