This weekend's SPFL matches have all been postponed following the passing of Queen Elizabeth II.
A joint statement from the SFA and SPFL announced professional football would shut down as a mark of respect after the monarch's death aged 96 on Thursday. It follows similar decision in England and Northern Ireland, with the Premier League and the NIFL Premiership also calling off fixtures.
A date is yet to be confirmed for the Queen's funeral and it's possible this could lead to further postponements. There's further uncertainty surrounding midweek European matches, with Celtic, Rangers and Hearts scheduled to play in the Champions League and Europa Conference League over the next seven days. Friday's announcement also means the SPFL will be forced to rearrange a number of fixtures in what is already a congested and truncated first half of the 2022/23 top-flight season. Premiership football will be paused in November for the duration of the Qatar World Cup and there are now several matches which will be re-arranged.
