Scottish football bosses fear the national game is paying the price for Nicola Sturgeon’s bitter political feud with former Prime Minister Alex Salmond after a third slight from the government in four days.
Record sport may reveal that eager SFA bosses expected Holyrood to sanction the restart of League One and League Two last week after being promised a final answer on Friday afternoon, a decision that could determine whether the Cup of Scotland this season can be played to the end or not.
And they were hung up again over the weekend despite being informed that the government would make a decision before Monday morning.
A third deadline passed yesterday afternoon, prompting SFA President Rod Petrie to release a statement publicly calling for politicians to clarify when the current suspension of soccer will be lifted at all levels below the Premiership and the Championship.
Meanwhile, the first cases of a mutant strain of coronavirus found in Brazil have now entered Scotland.
Six people in the UK have tested positive for the mutant strain, three in Scotland and three in England, and one of them has yet to be identified as health officials scramble to locate them.
Yesterday it was confirmed that no new deaths had been recorded overnight amid 386.
