The SFA are planning to conclude the 2019/20 Scottish Cup early next season.
Yesterday debate centred on the conclusion of the SPFL season with a vote to be taken on Friday on the conclusion of the lower leagues.
This weekend should have been dominated by the Scottish Cup with Celtic v Aberdeen following on from Hearts against Hibs on Saturday with the final in a months’ time.
Info is still planning to conclude this season’s Scottish Cup at start of next season. https://t.co/6SqUWLtPQA

The suspension of football couldn’t have come at a worse time for the SFA.
In the autumn Hampden felt haunted as the international side concluded largely pointless Euro 2020 qualifiers against San Marino and Kazakhstan.
With the play-off match against Israel postponed and three Scottish Cup ties going the same way there has been a serious lack of cash going into the SFA who have also lost out of the spin-offs from hosting four matches in Euro 2020.
Getting the Scottish Cup concluded will start to claw back some money for the SFA- for Celtic it offers the chance to become the first team to win the trophy four years running and take a huge step towards a fourth consecutive treble.
