Officials from the West of Scotland League will hold crunch talks with the Scottish FA this afternoon amid fears their kick-off could be delayed further.
Friendlies have been lined up in the coming weeks and the league was pencilled in for an October 24 kick-off, but a Scottish Government announcement yesterday has cast major doubt over the games going ahead and the divisions starting this month.
First Minister Nicola Sturgeon unveiled a host of mini-lockdown measures to stave off a second wave of Covid-19 cases, particularly across the Central Belt.
The measures include a shutdown of all amateur contact sports, indoor and outdoor, between October 9 and October 25.
Professional sport is unaffected and while the Lowland League has been given the green light to go-ahead as scheduled on Saturday, the West of Scotland League remains in the dark over how the measures will impact their plans.
However, league officials will hold a meeting with SFA chiefs over Zoom at 1pm today to discover the way forward.
If the ban is enforced at WOSL level, it will throw the big kick-off into further chaos, with the planned October 10 start date already pushed back, in the hope of fans being allowed to return to stadiums.
However, a fan return seems a long way off given the current circumstances and all 67 clubs across the WOSL divisions will eagerly await an update from the league in due course.
