Ms MacDonald, the convener of Holyrood's cross-party group on sport, claimed the vuvuzelas were "ruining" the World Cup and that she feared supporters may bring them to games in Scotland next season.

She has written to SPL chief executive Neil Doncaster calling on him to act and ban them. An SPL spokeswoman said clubs will make their own decisions.
