Professional football in Scotland to resume as normal following postponements due to death of Queen Elizabeth II meaning Brora Rangers' Scottish Cup match away at Open Goal Broomhill should go ahead

The Scottish FA has confirmed that professional football will continue as normal from this week following the death of Queen Elizabeth II.

All matches were postponed last weekend as a mark of respect, although the move led to some frustration from football fans who believed black armbands, the national anthem and minute's silences would have been more appropriate.

Clubs and players will have the option to do any or all of that at their next games, which will go ahead as scheduled subject to police resources – with the caveat that any match falling on Monday, September 19 – the day of Queen Elizabeth II's funeral – will be rescheduled.

A Scottish FA statement read: "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."
