The1971–72British Home Championship was the first suchHome Nations football tournament (although not the last), to suffer duringThe Troubles in Northern Ireland, when death threats from theProvisional Irish Republican Army were sent to theScottish Football Association andScottish players who were scheduled to play atWindsor Park. The surge in anti-British feeling which prompted these threats followedBloody Sunday in January, and also resulted in the cancellation of therugby union 1972 Five Nations Championship. As a result,Northern Ireland's home fixture was rescheduled toHampden Park, effectively granting the Scottish team an extra home match. This was not the last time that The Troubles would interfere with the Home Championship; the1981 British Home Championship would have to be abandoned following similar heightened tension after the death ofBobby Sands.

Scotland used their home advantage well, securing victory over the Irish andWelsh to take a major points advantage into the final match against England, who had lost at home to Northern Ireland following a heavy defeat of Wales. In the last match however,England gained a slight advantage over their old rivals, winning 1–0 and thus equalling the tournament on points and resulting in a shared victory (goal difference was not at this stage used to differentiate between teams). The Welsh salvaged a point in their final home game to Northern Ireland, but still finished bottom of the table.
