Motherwell and Dundee United have opted to stop taking the knee before matches as the Fir Park club insist they will no longer deliver "empty gestures".
The clubs' stance on the symbol of racial equality became clear at kick-off when the Steelmen lined up to play Kilmarnock and United hosted Aberdeen, with both teams standing as their opposition continued to kneel.
It comes after the Scottish footballing community rallied to support Rangers footballer Glen Kamara who was allegedly on the receiving end of a racist insult from Slavia Prague defender Ondrej Kudela in the sides' Europa League last 16 tie.
Kamara issued a statement on Friday evening through solicitor Aamer Anwar to state the term used was 'f****** monkey', and not 'f****** guy' as his opponent had claimed earlier in the day.
The Finland international's teammate Connor Goldson then spoke about the incident in his press conference before Sunday's derby against Celtic to ponder why players should continue taking the knee if racism still permeates through the game.
And a Motherwell statement read: "Our players have stopped taking the knee before matches, effective immediately from our Scottish Premiership match on Saturday 20 March.
"Motherwell Football Club stands united with this collective decision and their reasons. We fully endorse the following statement from the players. It is time for action on racism, not empty gestures.
“When we started taking the knee at the start of the season, it had an impact. For the first few weeks, the message was loud and clear. Now it has been lost.
“Taking a knee has become something someone does now for the sake of it. It has completely lost its meaning. As a squad, we spoke and asked ourselves ‘why are we doing this anymore? Is it having any impact at all?’. The answer was a clear no.
“Taking a knee has become an empty gesture. Instead, we want those in power to take real and immediate action on racism.
“Apathy and complacency have set into the routine. We want our actions to cause a realisation and a reaction.
“Racism is apparent everywhere in the day-to-day life of society. People need to realise change is required.
"Players, clubs, authorities and society now need to unite, and fight for a level playing field for all.”
Aston Villa and Sheffield United introduced the display of solidarity to football in the UK at the height of Black Lives Matter protests last June, in the first English Premier League game since the restart of football.
Dundee United showed their support for former Dundee player Kamara as they Tweeted: "We stand today with Glen Kamara, and others who suffer at the hands of racism.
"Today’s decision to stand rather than take the knee is a show of solidarity by our players to enhance the message that racism in any form is unacceptable and has no place anywhere in society."
Rangers' account shared the two clubs' statements, along with others across Scottish football, with the hashtag: "#ScottishFootballUnited".
