- Cancellation of season will not affect European qualification
- Uefa relaxes rules with growing number of leagues finishing
The Scottish Premiership is in line to get the green light to bring its season to an end after Uefa indicated that cancelled leagues would be allowed to take part in European competition next season.
An extraordinary meeting of Uefa’s executive committee on Thursday will discuss guidelines on how to determine Champions League and Europa League places in the event of a truncated season. Uefa said on Tuesday that these guidelines would apply to “special cases”, with the Scottish top flight, alongside the Belgian and Dutch leagues, believed to be included in that definition. The Netherlands confirmed on Tuesday a three-month extension of the ban on major public events, meaning there will be no Dutch football played before 1 September.
