The SFA and SPFL have announced that clubs across the country will unite in a social media boycott this weekend in response to vile racist abuse aimed at players and staff.
Clubs across Scotland will leave their social media accounts dormant from 3pm on Friday, April 30 until 23.59pm on Monday, May 3.
The boycott also includes accounts for the SFA, the SPFL, Scottish Women's Football and PFA Scotland.
Record Sport reported on Tuesday night that all 42 SPFL clubs are on board. Clubs are encouraged to take part in full or by signing off any limited social media activity with the hashtag #FootballUnites.
Earlier this month Rangers players and staff made a similar move, after captain James Tavernier revealed every black player in the Ibrox squad had suffered online racial abuse.
The move follows a similar boycott in England which was announced earlier this week.
SPFL chief executive Neil Doncaster said: “Discrimination of any kind has absolutely no place in Scottish football and the online abuse received by some of those involved in our national game is absolutely abhorrent. The SPFL is committed to ensuring that Scottish football is inclusive and welcoming to all.
“Players and supporters from diverse backgrounds have played, and continue to play, an enormously positive and valued role in our game. Diversity is part of what makes Scottish football what it is, it should be protected and championed.
“As a society, we all have a responsibility to stamp out abusive behaviour and ensure that everyone, regardless of background, can enjoy football in this country without fear of receiving hate-filled messages online.
“Social media provides a wonderful platform for clubs of all sizes to communicate with their fans. It’s a platform that our clubs have used to great effect in recent years but it is also a medium that is being abused by a vile and mindless minority. These cowards often hide behind anonymous accounts and it is incumbent upon social media companies to actively and aggressively combat this problem.
“The SPFL will continue to work with our member clubs and partners, including Show Racism the Red Card, the Scottish FA and Police Scotland to drive home the message that there’s no place in our game for discrimination of any kind.”
