Hibs, Hearts and rest of SPFL returns this weekend as Scottish football gets go ahead

Scottish football will return this weekend following the postponement of the SPFL professional card across Saturday and Sunday as a mark of respect to Queen Elizabeth II.

The UK's longest-serving monarch sadly passed away on Thursday evening at Balmoral, aged 96, with clubs up and down the country paying emotional tributes to the Royal Family and everyone else mourning. The Jambos held a minute's silence and wore black armbands during the second half of their Europa Conference League opener following the news.

Clubs have been told they can hold a period of silence, play the National Anthem ahead of kick-off or wear black armbands as a tribute at matches across the weekend. Rangers' Champions League clash at Ibrox with Napoli this midweek has been moved 24 hours to the Wednesday due to policing resources.
