Looks like Scotland will be doing the same from the 26th with no spectators
Nicola Sturgeon tells MSPs that Omicron has firmly established itself as the dominate strain in Scotland - it is nearly 63% of all cases
In light of the Covid threat, the first minister says that large-scale Hogmanay celebrations - including Edinburgh's famous street party - "will not proceed"
She adds that sporting fixtures, including football matches, will be "effectively spectator-free" from 26 December until at least mid-January
