FIFA has fined the SFA because the Tartan Army booed the Israeli national anthem before the dramatic World Cup qualifier last month.
And they were also rapped because of the display of an inappropriate flag in the ground.
Scotland produced a fantastic comeback to grab an injury time winner against old foes Israel to put Steve Clarke's side firmly in the driving seat for the play-off spot.
However, the Israeli national anthem was booed during its rendition by a section of home fans at a sell-out Hampden Park.
It was mentioned in the delegate's report and the SFA has been hit with a fine of £8,024 because of it and the flying of a flag by FIFA's disciplinary committee.
The SFA were hit with a breach of FIFA Disciplinary Code Article 16 and the world's governing body explained the fine was due to: "Order and security at matches (disturbance during national anthems, use of objects - flag - to transmit a message that is not appropriate for a sports event)."
Scotland's next World Cup opponent, Moldova, were fined almost £25,000 for a kid flying a drone ahead of their qualifier with Austria and booing of the visitor's national anthem.
FIFA explained the fine was for: "Order and security at matches (invasion of the field of play, drone causing a disturbance during national anthems)."
