We are urgently assessing what these changes mean for football. We would reiterate that changes cannot be implemented before Monday 13 July, as outlined by Scottish Government.

We want to thank everyone in the grassroots game for their continued patience and support. We will continue to work with the Scottish Government, sportscotland and other stakeholders on the return for football and will update as soon as possible.
