We’ve played more than 3/4s of the season, imo that should mean the league standings are as they are.
However what I think they’ll do is promote 2 and relegate 2 next season.

As it stands . Celtic win the league , Hertz go doon and no Europe for us . Nobody was going to catch Celtic anyway , our chance of 4th was slim and Hertz were never going to catch Hamilton
Same for championship , nobody was going to catch United . They can do the playoffs before the season starts

Everyone needs to calm down - social media hysteria.
By the time it gets to April contain and delay will be pointless - if you're going to get it your going to get it so life will get started again.
If you've got it you'll be in bed, the hospitals will have major issues and those in the danger groups will need to take some self responsibility - but that won't stop 22 healthy men kicking a ball and anyone who wants to watch them from going to watch them. The risk is theirs to take, climb the walls in lock down or get on with things.
Everyone so woke.
All back April 3rd - euros in 2021 - season done and dusted 30th June - hearts down

UTD will go tonto if they are kept in the Championship another year.
14 team league probably results in the fewest toys out the pram but then there would be an argument over the 2nd team coming up, Dundee etc would probably argue they were denied the play offs.
Edit: I do think we'll be back up and running in April.

It will only be decvalred anything if we are still in this situation in July when time starts to run into what would be new season. A decsion does not need to be made on what happens i believe until May up here.
With 9 games left 2 cup games Hearts or say Hamilton will have 9 games plus play offs or if hearts in play off looking at max 11/12 games for 1 or 2 clubs. Easy to fulifil this in 4/5 week period. Not a chance the season will be voided or decision made until the situation is made clear.

There is absolutely no chance that current standings will apply imo. 2 options are
1. The end of the season is played at a later date. Transfer windows are moved accordingly. It is accepted that players whose contracts expire can move to new clubs.
2. Declare the season null and void.
I can only see 2 happening over 1 if the delay becomes a very long time i.e. well beyond the summer.

I voted 'Other'.
In Scotland, I think we should try and complete the games that will have a bearing on the 'big' decisions - i.e. winners, losers, play-off places. To do this, it'll having to mean postponing the International games and trying to play the league games before the end of June, if possible. I would also say that if it's impossible to do the above before the end of June, then the winners & losers are based on current positions and the season ends prematurely. This decision would have to be communicated now. However, I assume that this could be subject to legal challenge.
In the SPFL, I would stop the games before the split and not have teams playing, for many, meaningless games
I would move the Scottish Cup to a 'weekend' at some point in the future, both semi-finals being played on Thursday nights with the Final on the Sunday.
UEFA will also need to think about the early rounds of European qualification, as leagues won't know who's qualified until much later in the season.
To sum it all up, it's a mess.

I voted for option two, mainly to have a dig at Hearts, but I’m certain they will declare the season null and void. The SPFL and SFA will see the financial benefits of keeping Hearts in the Scottish Premiership. Dundee United and Rangers will be up in arms but that’s how the cookie crumbles.

Only the clubs it suits to cancel will go on about cancelling.
Just not an option. Its ok to start a new season but not ok to finish a nearly finished old season? Senseless.

The league should be declared as it stands with Celtic winners and Hearts automatically relegated. Hamilton and Inverness either flip a coin or even contest a stand alone penalty shoot out to decide the other. Dish out the prize money soon to help the clubs get through this.

If we can get started in July/August again then fine. 2 games a week enables the season to be finished in a month and everybody's in the same boat. Gentlemen's agreement that transfer window doesn't kick in until the season is finished.
Immediate start to next season say in September. Scrap the League Cup and winter break. Midweek games as far as neccessary. UEFA to play ball and reduce the Euro comps down to two legged ties all the way for one season only.
