Children under the age of 12 could be banned from heading the ball in training in Scotland because of links between football and dementia.
The United States has had a similar ban in place since 2015 but Scotland would become the first European country to impose such a restriction. The Scottish Football Association said on Thursday it was finalising its proposals.
