The new Premiership season is to get underway on August 1 and 2, and it was initially anticipated that matches would be played behind closed doors.
However, news that fans might be allowed back to games sooner rather than later, and the grassroots game could resume from July 13, has been welcomed by Scottish FA chief Ian Maxwell.
“[The] news is welcome by the JRG (joint response group) and I am sure everyone involved in Scottish football from professional to grassroots level.
"While we must proceed with caution and respect the government’s current public health advice, none the less the First Minister’s announcement today gives confidence that, as the virus diminishes in Scotland, we can prepare for the gradual return of fans into stadia.
"The JRG is also currently finalising its Return to Playing guidelines for the commencement of the Scottish Premiership season and will share this with clubs shortly.”
