2019–20 in Scottish football
The 2019–20 season is the 123rd season of competitive football in Scotland. The 2019–20 Scottish Professional Football League season started on 2 August 2019, and is due to end on 17 May 2020.[2] All competitive matches affiliated with the Scottish Football Association were postponed indefinitely on 13 March 2020, due to the coronavirus pandemic.[3] On 15 April 2020, all divisions below the Scottish Premiership were concluded, and all play-off matches were cancelled, as clubs to curtail the season due to the pandemic.[1] On 18 May, the Premiership was curtailed and Celtic declared champions.
