[BBC Scotland News @BBCScotlandNews]

The Scottish FA is to consider a ban on children under 12 heading the ball, following a report linking dementia to football.

[STV News @STVNews]

Young footballers could be banned from heading the ball under new proposals being considered by the SFA over dementia links.

Do you think a heading ban would be the right move?
