THE SPFL and SFA have invited Scottish football clubs to play the national anthem as fixtures resume as normal this week following the death of The Queen.
All matches across the country were postponed last weekend as a mark of respect following The Queen's passing on Thursday.
Scottish football governing bodies have now confirmed that matches will return as normal and clubs have been invited to pay their respects in a number of ways.
A statement said: "This week, as a mark of respect and in keeping with the period of National Mourning, home clubs may wish to hold a period of silence and/or play the National Anthem just ahead of kick-off, and players may wish to wear black armbands."
The statement continued: "Following confirmation of the postponement of all fixtures in the professional game across Scotland last weekend as a mark of respect for the passing of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II, we can confirm the intention for the professional game to resume as normal.
"Fixtures will go ahead, subject to Police Scotland resourcing, with the caveat that any fixtures under the professional banner be rescheduled if they fall on Monday September 19, the day of Her Majesty’s funeral.
"We thank clubs and league organisations for the mark of respect shown at the weekend and for their efforts in resuming the professional game fixture schedule."
