The SPFL and SWPL have released a joint statement pledging to support the British Red Cross' emergency appeal to give those in urgent need aid during the Israel and Palestine conflict.
Both governing bodies confirmed they will be supporting the campaign and that they will be encouraging teams to wear back armbands during the weekend fixtures to show solidarity with those affected.
Reports state that over 1400 people have been killed in Israel and 3000 in the Gaza strip, with thousands more injured.
The statement read: "Given the terrible events of the past two weeks in Israel and Palestine, our thoughts are with all those who continue to suffer from this enduring conflict.
"Scottish football is a positive and cohesive force for good in the communities that surround and sustain our clubs.
"We will therefore be supporting the British Red Cross, who have launched an emergency appeal to support the international response efforts aiding those in urgent need and will be promoting this appeal through social media this weekend.
"We will be suggesting to our clubs that they use black armbands this weekend, as a show of humanitarian support for those affected by the conflict."
