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.

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.

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.

Please do not play gstk.

I’d like that kinda thing as a universal, as the playing of the National Anthem before all sporting events in the U.S. is befuddling. I understand the concern here, but would it be any worse than a minute of silence (that will likely be rudely interrupted)?

Minutes silences are usually well respected by fans in Scotland, with there being the obvious exceptions through Glasgow. Minutes silence and black arm bands is more than enough imo.

The best way forward is to not bother with the silence or GSTQ and just go with the black armbands.

Agreed. Previous weeks games got cancelled out of a sign of respect so that'll do it for me when it comes to pandering to this nonsense.

It would be good if we just politely observed a minute's silence.

For the likes of the clowns that polluted the club's social media, if they want to protest so much, just go into your work on the day that the country has given you off.

Their work will probably be shut mate.

I’d rather they didn’t do a minutes silence after seeing what happened at Tynecastle the other night. It just turns into a toxic atmosphere with fans turning on each other.

If we need to do something (if postponing Saturdays game wasn’t enough) then do a minutes applause. That way people who don’t want to join in can do so without upsetting anyone.

I'm going to my work on Monday and using the day off at a later date. 

As for whatever the club do on Saturday, I'll treat it with the same respect that I would for any tribute held for others that I didn't know.
