The biggest clubs in Europe will meet on Friday amid the attempts to push through revamped Champions League proposals which are set to begin in 2024.
Premiership pair Celtic and Rangers will keep a close eye on the potentially bombshell developments that will be discussed amid ongoing talks with UEFA.
The European Club Association (ECA), which is led by Juventus chief Andrea Agnelli, will discuss the mooted 36-team revolution that is set to come into play at the start of the 2024/25 season.
The blueprint was expected to be rubber-stamped last month but no agreement could be reached with UEFA and clubs at loggerheads over TV and commercial demands.
It's understood the impasse won't be solved easily with so teams and the governing body fully aware of the magnitude of the new deal amid a global pandemic.
The ECA is well represented by clubs outwith Europe's top five leagues with outgoing Celtic chief executive Peter Lawwell and Ajax decision maker Edwin van der Sar key members on the board.
Monetary concerns are set to dominate the agenda but the sitdown also offers the chance for teams such as the two Glasgow giants to seek long-term answers on how the sweeping changes will affect their place among European football's elite in the coming years.
The proposed 36-team tournament - known as the Swiss model - will see teams play 10 matches in the group stage in a bid to further boost income for sides dining at European football's top table.
It's also being seen by many as an informal way to stave off demands from the continent's biggest clubs for a so-called European super league.
