Scottish football to return following postponement after Queen's death

Football games in Scotland are set to return this weekend following the postponement of the SPFL fixtures as a mark of respect for the passing of The Queen. Four Scottish Premiership fixtures are due to take place on Saturday with two more matches on Sunday.

And SFA chiefs have now confirmed that the games will go ahead along with the Championship, League One and League Two. The SFA said in a statement: "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.
