The Scottish Championship, League One and League Two campaigns have been brought to an end following Dundee’s decision to vote yes to an Scottish Professional Football League resolution.
As a result of Dundee’s decision, their arch rivals, Dundee United, have been crowned champions of the Ladbrokes Championship, Raith Rovers the champions of Ladbrokes League One and Cove Rangers the champions of League Two, with placings determined by the points average method..
However, the SPFL has not said if those sides will be promoted and if Partick Thistle and Stranraer will be relegated.
But the SPFL have confirmed that they will launch a taskforce to explore an expanded Premiership for next season.
It is a major step for the Scottish FA to call a halt to the season for all leagues below the top flight and it would have major implications if the English FA were to follow suit.
Reports emerged on Wednesday that leading Premier League clubs had joined forces in calling for the season to be finished before the end of June.
And if the English FA follows the same plan as Scotland, that would have a huge impact on the likes of Leeds United, West Bromwich Albion and Fulham in the Championship.
If England did follow Scotland's lead, Leeds would be crowned Championship winners, with West Brom second and Fulham third, given all teams in the league have played the same number of games.
Whether Fulham would be granted promotion, or a series of play-off games were scheduled for the restart, however, would be a matter for discussion.
The SPFL now has the power to end the Premiership campaign should they deem it impossible for the outstanding fixtures to be played.
However, the league says it is “committed to consulting” with the Premiership clubs before doing so.
A total of 81% of Scotland’s 42 senior clubs have backed the resolution, meaning end-of-season payments can be made to the lower league sides by the end of this week.
A statement released by SPFL chairman Murdoch MacLennan said: "It is no exaggeration to say that this was an existential matter for Scottish clubs, with many of them telling us they were at real risk of going under unless the situation was resolved very quickly, so I'm pleased that the game has moved decisively.
"There was always going to be a highly-charged and passionate debate about how we secure the future of Scottish football. But what has been agreed today is not just the best way forward, it was the only realistic way forward.
"I now call on all 42 clubs to move forward in a constructive and positive way."
Earlier on Wednesday, Dundee had said that it was initially their “intention” to reject the plans to end the season now and that their ballot paper was submitted by last Friday’s requested deadline.
However, Dundee have now reversed their decision, meaning the Scottish Championship, League One and League Two campaigns are now over.
