Football clubs have been offered a proof of vaccination reprieve after Nicola Sturgeon laid out the outdoor events timeline.
The First Minister confirmed a grace period to allow Scottish football clubs more time to prepare for the changes.
That's with two jabs and proof of vaccination for outdoor crowds of more than 10,000 required by law from 5am on Friday but it won't be legally enforced until October 18.
Rangers were the first club to provide a clue as to how the checks will be conducted on a matchday as they urged supporters to provide documentation ahead of the clash with Hibs.
Celtic, Aberdeen, Hearts and Hibs are all expected to require checks under the new legislation.
The SPFL and SFA Joint Response Group's response to the Government's plans was to plead with Sturgeon to avoid wholesale checks.
The fear was that asking every fan to produce their proof of vaccination would cause huge delays outside of football grounds.
Sturgeon told Holyrood: "Many other countries are already demonstrating the value of Covid certification.
"It is for these reasons that Cabinet decided this morning to proceed with the laying of the regulations that will bring such a scheme into operation.
"However, we are also determined to listen and, as far as possible, respond to the reasonable concerns of business, so that the introduction and practical implementation of the scheme is as smooth as possible."
