Scottish football will be back this weekend after last weekend’s fixtures were postponed following the death of Queen Elizabeth II. The EFL also have confirmed that their fixtures will resume from Tuesday, September 13 after the matches were postponed last weekend.
“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,” a statement from the Scottish Football Association said. “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.”
“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,” he added. “We thank clubs and league organizations for the mark of respect shown at the weekend and for their efforts in resuming the professional game fixture schedule.”
