The SPFL will leave the decision to individual clubs over whether to play the UK national anthem on the weekend of the coronation of King Charles. Charles will be formally proclaimed King in a ceremony at Westminster Abbey on Saturday and the English Premier League and English Football League have asked home clubs to play God Save the King as players stand around the centre circle. Hibs, Motherwell, Ross County and St Johnstone are all at home on Saturday when Charles will succeed to the throne. Jurgen Klopp was asked about the move in England with Liverpool fans booing the national anthem in the past. The Reds host Brentford in a live Sky Sports encounter on Saturday, the day of the coronation.
