All clubs outside the Premiership have been given the green light to return to football training on Monday.
Clubs in the Championship, League One and League Two, as well as Highland League, North Caledonian League and grassroots football, will be allowed to return to training on Monday.
The Scottish FA will lift the suspension in line with the update provided to phase three of the Scottish Government’s route map out of the COVID-19 crisis.
Contact training for the youth and adult game – including professional and non-professional – can resume from Monday morning in line with updated government guidelines.
The details were outlined today to Championship, League One and League Two clubs in a series of video conference calls hosted by the Joint Response Group.
Further meetings are scheduled for tiers 5 and 6 of the Scottish football pyramid early next week.
Joint Response Group chairman Rod Petrie said: “This is a significant and hugely positive step forward for the whole of Scottish football and means that training can resume for both the professional and grassroots game from Monday.
“I understand the sacrifices players, coaches and clubs have been forced to make to get to this point but the health of the nation remains our absolute priority. Through the JRG and its grassroots sub group we have worked hard since yesterday’s announcement from the First Minister to put the latest government advice into context for the professional and non-professional game and to make the message as clear and as simple as possible.
“Training can resume on Monday in line with government’s ongoing social distancing measures and advice and, if the virus continues to be contained in Scotland, then the path to competitive football matches being played by October is tangible."
